Essential updates for your pool April 2014

£20 million to boost sports facilities Community sports facilities are set to receive a welcome boost with £20 million of National Lottery funding. Investment is available for sports clubs, local authorities, schools and parish councils to help fix facilities that can be unattractive, expensive to run and difficult to maintain, and to convert existing buildings into venues that are suitable for grassroots sport. Sport England's Inspired Facilities fund has already helped over 1,300 projects to improve and refurbish sports clubs or transform non-sporting venues into modern grassroots sport facilities. So whether you are a swim school, club, local authority, school or parish council you could have help to improve your facilities. Find out more and apply

College Recruiting from the Coaches' Perspective Have you ever wondered what college swimming coaches go through to land the top recruits? What kind of pressure they’re under? What they’re looking for in prospective freshmen? A handful of college coaches say they enjoy the recruiting process. Most tolerate it as happily as the flu. They all, however, work at it assiduously. Take a look at the college recruiting process through the eyes of the coaches in, “For the Sake of a Good Recruit,” in the March-April issue of Splash Digital, available online and as a mobile app for your iPad and iPhone.

	Hosszu: "I always learn something new, even after 20 years of swimming!"
	Hungary's Katinka Hosszu is attending the SportAccord Convention in Belek, Turkey this week. The current 200m and 400m IM World champion is on-hand both in and out the pool as she is to take part in a practice session with kids from the local swimming clubs today and the first-ever "Youth Club" discussion panel on Thursday April 10, together with other outstanding young athletes. Always flashing a smile, the 24-year-old is creating the buzz at the FINA stand in the Susesi Convention Centre. The Iron Lady of swimming takes a moment to reflect on her career, goals and aspirations for the sport she loves so much. Winner of the 2012 and 2013 FINA World Cups, what is your training secret to swim so many events? I train eight to nine hours a day, five in the morning and three to four in the afternoon. It's a lot of work but it's also my passion: I love to swim. Do you train differently for the World Cup than for other championships? In which way? Given that my specialty is IM, I have to train all strokes and that's also why I've been competing in all the different strokes during the World Cup. Of course, for the World Championships and the Olympics I will only prepare for 200m IM and the 400m IM. What makes the FINA World Cup attractive to athletes? The prize money, the environment at the event - a place with the top athletes - and a great overall vibe. What are your goals leading up to the Rio Games? During the last Olympic Games I came in fourth which is the worst position. This time around I am hoping to get to the podium and I am therefore training with that in mind. There is the Maria Lenk Trophy in Sao Paulo, Brazil which is coming up and will be a good place to see where I'm at in terms of times, followed by the Singapore Swim Stars challenge in September and maybe others leading up to the FINA Swimming World Cup and FINA short-course Swimming World Championships in Doha. How would you describe your swimming career in a few words? Swimming is a passion. I love how it feels like being in the water, feeling the strokes as I swim. There's always something to work on, to improve and I find it really fun. Year in and year out, I always learn something new: even after 20 years of swimming!

	10km World Cup: Action-packed races and close finishes mark season debut   In the spotlight It was game on from the get go as the world's top marathon swimmers battled it out in the first two stops of the FINA 10km Marathon Swimming World Cup 2014, held in Viedma (ARG, February 1) and Cancun (MEX, April 5).
