WHO ARE THESE SESSIONS FOR?

These sessions are for swimmers that can confidently swim up to 15 metres in a pool on their front and back in recognised strokes like Front Crawl and Backstroke.

Our aim has been to create a safe space and learning environment, for people of colour that want to learn how to swim.

Our previous cohorts of lessons have crafted deep bonds as friends and become micro-communities of their own. We ask that our wishes for our safe own space are respected.

WHAT ARE THEY?

Sessions with a poolside Swim Dem teacher to give you the necessary guidance to improve your swimming, with the aim for you to be able to swim 25m comfortably on your front or back.

Your lessons are non-transferrable to other cohorts, and there are no refunds to not being able to attend a lesson. It is your responsibility to be available to attend lessons.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

The sessions are running each Tuesday 13th January for five weeks until 10th February.

At the first session, all the swimmers will be assessed and then the coach will create a plan for their swimmers to follow. The teachers are trusted by the co-founders of Swim Dem Crew and are qualified swimming teachers with years of experience.

Swim Dem sessions are different from normal swimming sessions. There will be a family atmosphere within the group and you will be encouraged to support each other throughout the sessions.

WHERE ARE THEY?

Stratford Aquatics Centre, Olympic Park, London, E20 2ZQ.

WHAT TIME ARE THEY?

Tuesdays, 7:00 - 8:00pm. Meet in reception for 6:45pm.
