In June 2026, our Swimming Group continued to run successfully through the Sport of England project, which supported member-led participation activities.

Rather than formal swimming lessons, the sessions provided opportunities for members to take part in self-organised swimming activities in a safe and supportive environment. Participants were able to swim at their own pace, build confidence in the water, and enjoy regular physical activity.

With the support of the grant, we were able to provide access to facilities and create an inclusive space where members of different abilities could participate comfortably. The sessions encouraged wellbeing, independence, and positive social interaction.

We were grateful to Sport of England for supporting these activities, which helped promote active lifestyles and strengthen community wellbeing.
