Whilst we believe there should be far greater access to dedicated swimming pool time for people with disabilities, particularly given the unique supportive cocoon provided by water, there are some very good clubs available. Unfortunately, these can often be difficult to find so one of our missions is to create a comprehensive database providing insights on what each organisation offers.
This project will take time, but in the meantime we will do our best to list other swimming clubs that cater to people with disabilities on this page. If you are aware of a club or organisation that we have missed please email dan@weswim.club with the organisation’s name and website.
