00:00I was saddened to hear the closure of the Falkland Sports Centre and the loss of the swimming pool to the hundreds of swimmers throughout the area.
00:07As the Olympics this summer demonstrated, swimming is a sport that can inspire millions.
00:12If it wasn't for the local swimming pools across the country, none of us in Team GB would have been able to fulfil our dream.
00:18It is the opportunities at the beginning that produces the results at the end.
00:24Swimming is a sport that provides for your mental and physical wellbeing as well as being a vital skill in keeping people of all ages safe in the water.
00:32It is a sport that is enjoyed by every generation and to see a pool close in a coastal town is especially saddening.
00:40I hope that you can join me in supporting the fight to reopen Falkland Sports Centre and ensuring that future generations gain the opportunities they deserve.
