Started in 2009 by the award-winning photographer Simon Wright, the GBswimstars project is now one of the largest online collections of aquatic sports images.

   As a keen Masters swimmer and specialist sports photographer Simon's aim is to capture powerful, memorable photographs that will help promote British swimming, diving, synchronised swimming and water polo in the run up to the Rio 2016 Olympic games.

   He has been visiting clubs across the country and photographing the swim stars of today and future stars of Rio 2016 and beyond; telling a photographic story of their journey to the Olympic games.
