(Picture: Laureus)Cameron van der Burgh is in the middle of a session at his local Virgin Active gym in Fulham when something catches his eye. Across the room, another man is working out, wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the name of the Barnes Masters Swimming Club and the South African spies an opportunity.
“I’m actually moving to Barnes soon,” he says, strolling over to introduce himself. “I’d love to get the details and come and see the club.”
