Organisation description: Swimming club for age 4-80. Currently the oldest members are 76, we don't have an upper age limit. The club provides swimming lessons from the age of 4 and this continues until they have completed Lifegaurd Gold and Gold award swimming length. There is also the opportunity to compete in Gala's if the child wishes to but this is not necessary to be a member of the club. We also train and undertake training for our older youths to become swim instructors themselves. Our lessons are cheaper than others to enable more people to be able to afford this. We aim to be inclusive of SEND children, under privileged, looked after children and different ethnicities. This is a family and community focused club and we aim to provide growth opportunities by having activity breaks at subsidised rates for the children. We are run by volunteers and no one is paid.
