A group founded by former Olympic swimmers Steve Parry, Rebecca Adlington and Adrian Turner has been bought by JD Sports in a deal that could be worth up to £15m, it has been revealed.
A 60% stake has been snapped up in Bolton-based Total Swimming Group by the retail giant.
JD Sports said that due to the proximity of the date of the acquisition, May 27, and the publication of its full-year results, it could not reveal the deal until now.
