Strathmore teams up with Rio medal hopefuls

Strathmore water – the water at the heart of Scottish sport – has teamed up with swimmer Ross Murdoch, track cyclist Katie Archibald and T53 wheelchair racer Samantha Kinghorn, to
inspire and motivate Scots to get involved in swimming, running and cycling. While the nation gears up for a summer of sport, with the Olympics and Paralympics taking place from early August, Team Strathmore will harness Scots’ love of sport and show how people of any age and ability can get involved and Do More.

Working with a number of sporting partners and events, including Scottish Swimming and Scottish Athletics, Strathmore will deliver a year-long campaign which will include inspiration,
tips and techniques for all levels, not to mention some once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for Scots to get involved!
