Community. Activity. Freedom.

We support adults with disabilities to swim across London.

At WeSwim, we're focused on opening more opportunities.

Being in water provides freedom for people with disabilities. The water takes your weight, eases pain, and opens up new ways to move.

WeSwim supports volunteer-led swimming clubs across London. Together, we empower adults with disabilities to get active, connect with others, and build lasting confidence.

We attend WeSwim because we feel safe and secure in the pool, while enjoying our time with the volunteers and club members. It’s a very nurturing and encouraging environment. The volunteers are super kind, enthusiastic, and friendly. There’s always someone to point you in the right direction.”

About us

80% of disabled people want to be more active but there are high barriers.

WeSwim was launched in 2019 with a vision that one day, every adult with a disability will have a local opportunity to swim and be active in the water.

We increase opportunities for people with disabilities to swim in London by running volunteer led swimming clubs for adults with disabilities. In our clubs across London we focus on the mental, physical and social benefits of swimming, creating supportive communities for swimmers and volunteers alike.

We partner with local pools. And are supported by amazing local volunteers. Sharing their time, facilities, and experiences. All with a passion to do more.

Helping disabled people benefit.
