Thanks to an Andra Romagnoli’s idea (Andrea was the manager of the Borgo S. Lorenzo swimming pool complex, close to Florence), Giovanni Franceschi (in sponsorship relationship with the complex), Tanya Vannini (head of the swimming coaches in the same place and also 400m freestyle Italian record-holder), Giorgio Lamberti (world champion and record-holder for the 200m freestyle, and also Tanya’s fiancé) and Marco Colombo (member of the Italian swim team at the Olympics and professionally liked to Giorgio) are founding an improvement Camp dedicated to local swimmers: Nuota con Noi (“Swim with Us”) is born!.

summer 1998

From January 2005 to the Summer of 1998 the sports complex of Borgo S. Lorenzo is hosting nine Nuota con Noi events, starting with local swimmers than “opening” to enthusiasts coming from all Italy.

fall 1998 - winter 2001

Aided by some positive events (Giorgio and Tanya getting married and moving to another City, Marco focussing his professional activity in another Region and Giovanni … Having a growing family), Nuota con Noi … goes in deep sleep!

spring 2002

Giovanni, coming with his first-born to a “swimming training test” just in the same Borgo S. Lorenzo’s complex, lives again the “good feelings” of Nuota con Noi so decides to give new life to the project of swimming stages; the new name for his project is Top Swimming School.

summer 2003

To the three “historical” appointments at the B2K BALENA2000 are adding Club Santa Cristiana (Numana, close to Ancona) and at Città del Mare (Terrasini, close to Palermo in Sicily).

It will arrive in the Summer of 2004.
