Barracudas glad that they went you know where

FOLLOWING the announcement of a new sponsorship deal, photographer Karl Taylor had to take to the water to illustrate a new 'Should've gone to Specsavers moment'.

The image, which sees three divers on the starting blocks at Beau Sejour, but with one facing backwards, will feature on a large new billboard by the public pool, marking the start of a new sponsorship deal for the island's biggest club.

The photographer did what all good 'toggies' have to do and got into the water to capture the right shot.

Specsavers has agreed to a three-year sponsorship agreement with the Beau Sejour Barracudas Swimming Club and it is a deal which will enable the club to continue to compete at island, Channel Islands, county, regional, national and international level.

Specsavers founder Dame Mary Perkins said: 'We are delighted to offer support, both to youngsters learning to swim with the Beau Sejour Swim School, and also the competitive squads as part of the Beau Sejour Barracudas, so they can continue to compete at the highest possible level.'

The new sponsorship arrangement also means that from January next year the Club Championships, which are held throughout the year covering all strokes and distances, will become known as the Specsavers Series.

Swimmers collect points throughout the Series culminating in major awards which are presented at the end of the year. The 2010 Series will be extended to include enthusiastic members of their Masters section.
