What is this activity?
Swimming sessions for beginner swimmers who are visually impaired
Have you ever dreamed about turning into a mermaid/merman and explore the depth of the ocean but you don't know how to swim? If that is the case, don't worry, there are many people who don't know how to swim and it's never too late to learn. Our swimming lessons are the starting point, run especially for the visually impaired by an instructor who not only ensures your safety in the water but also gives you detailed instructions on how to move and develop the confidence to relax and make friends with the water. Once that happens, your fins are definitely going to grow and you will become an expert swimmer in no time.
Please note for new participants, you will need to fill out a form and please ensure that your GP feels you are fit to join the sessions. Places are limited for the teaching, so please pre-book. Sessions run in association with Spartans.
