Hendy Honda has reinforced its support of one of the south coast’s leading swimming schools with a second year of sponsorship for the Wessex Swim School.

Set up in 2004 by Chris Rees using one pool in Winchester, Wessex Swim School has been a huge success and now operates in Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire.

Hendy Group used car sales manager Simon Palmer said the company was delighted to be supporting such a proactive and successful school. “Chris and his team teach people of all ages and of all abilities and do a fantastic job,’’ he said. “With its expanding network of pools we are delighted that Chris will be able to travel in style in a Honda Civic from Hendy Group.’’

Chris said he was delighted to be working with the Hendy Group once again and said the synergy between the two companies providing an effective partnership and spreading the word of both brands throughout the region.

“Our aim is to create high quality affordable tuition across the south coast and we actively promote swimming both as a vital life skill as well as a sport,’’ said Chris who now employs 48 swimming teachers in the region.
“We have been steadily expanding the business and the Honda Civic is proving invaluable travelling between the venues and searching for suitable new pools to include in our programme.’’
