Several Seats have been sponsored by Sports England with the Be Active Together Fund to help our women tackle the tides by getting physical and it all starts by getting our feet wet!

​

This programme encourages and empowers ethnic minority women to participate in aquatic sports. The programme provides women with a fun opportunity to experience the benefits of the water, understand how physical activity can promote positive mental health and brings together like minded women for some fun!

​

The ‘Mind Under Water’ programme runs for 10 weeks and  includes 8 weeks of swimming lessons delivered by our partners Brooks Swim School.
