Girls swimming

Private, women-only swimming sessions that made a vital life skill accessible.

Over the summer, we delivered six female-only swimming sessions for 43 girls aged 11–16, providing a safe and inclusive space to build water confidence, stay active and connect with peers.

Recognising the cultural, religious and personal barriers that can make public swimming facilities less accessible, the sessions offered a fully private, women-only environment where participants could learn this vital life skill comfortably, develop new friendships and support their overall well-being.
