SALISBURY Stingrays have launched a crowdfunding campaign.

The club, based at Five Rivers Leisure Centre, is targeting £2,500 towards the total cost of five new digital timing pads, which are needed for swimming competitions and galas.

The electronic timing pads connect to each starter's box. When swimmers touch the pad at the end of the race they directly link to the digital display scoreboard, recording their individual time.

Each pad costs £1,000.
