  • Jeff Jordan – Swim For It

    Jeff Jordan is a keen swimmer – at 73yrs old he swims every week and as much as he enjoys his regular dips in the pool, he knows that for some – length after length of crawl, breaststroke or backstroke can become just a little bit boring – especially for children.

    So, he devised nearly 60 new strokes which he hopes will put the fun back into swimming and inspire younger swimmers.

    In this film, Jeff demonstrates some of his new strokes but not only in the local pool, as you would expect – but also in another very special Norfolk place – and makes his dream come true.
