Swimming

If you have a disability come along and try swimming at one of our Saturday morning sessions, between 9am and 11am, at The Ken Marriott Leisure Centre (KMLC), Rugby, Warwickshire. 

If you can't swim expert tuition is available to teach you, with years of experience at adapting strokes for a wide range of disabilities, whether for competition or just for recreation.

If you need help before you get to the pool we have a range of equipment at our disposal including changing couches, hoists and shower chairs.

Changing rooms aids

We have two changing couches available and one mobile hoist. These can be moved to any of the spacious group changing rooms that we have available. We also have shower chairs that can be connected onto the poolside hoist.

Poolside Access

We have a hoist at the poolside that the shower chairs  latch onto to be lifted into or out of the water.

For the ambulant we have a set of long shallow steps that lead into water at a depth of just over one metre.



Flotation aids

We have a range of flotation aids including barbells, armbands, neck collars and more, along with teaching aids designed to make learning fun for the younger swimmers.

Helpers

Helpers are always at hand to assist with entry and exit and a limited supply of helpers are available in the water, to provide physical assistance or expert tuition.

Helpers may also be available in the changing rooms.

Splashnights

To make swimming, or messing about in the water, more fun, we have splashnights, more details of which are on the Social and Fundraising page

If in doubt, come along and have a look at us before committing yourself.
