This week we opened our newest club in Mitcham by welcoming 5 swimmers who had otherwise not been able to access the water in years. From Roy, a stroke survivor relearning to swim, to Jacob, who hasn’t had a place to swim since he left college, the joy in the room was absolutely palpable.
A huge thank you to the wonderful staff @better_canons , and to the @wimbledonfdn for making the new club possible.
Now for us to keep growing, we need you! As our first club this far south in London, swimmer demand is high and we’re looking for new volunteers to support those swimmers in the water. No coaching qualifications needed - if you’re a strong swimmer, we would love to have you. Check the link in our bio to find out more and sign up today!

Swipe to see a happy Tash😄
