You looking to apply for that one then Rockster?

Reckon it will be a great opportunity for someone keen and driven enough to want to make an impact in the exciting swim scene here in Scotland.

(Speaking from my limited experience of such things obviously).

I am sure there will be a number of these opportunities arising in 2008.
