Why do we offer Female Only Swim?

For some women, taking part in swimming can come with barriers that others may not experience.

These can include concerns around body image, confidence, harassment or unwanted attention, cultural and religious considerations, and the feeling of being judged while exercising. Research also highlights that women and girls continue to be less active than men and boys and face a range of social and practical barriers to participation.

Our Female Only Swim sessions provide a safe, welcoming and supportive environment where women can enjoy all the benefits of swimming in a space designed specifically for them.

Where? RGU SPORT
When? Wednesdays
Time? 1pm - 2pm

Because feeling comfortable and confident should never be a barrier to being active.

Connect & Reflect Week is all about taking time for yourself and supporting your wellbeing. 💜

Mindful running is a simple way to combine movement and mindfulness by focusing on your breathing, your surroundings and the present moment rather than pace or performance.

Whether it is a jog around campus, along the riverside or through Duthie Park, why not take some time this week to connect, reflect and move.

As part of Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week, we are looking forward to hosting Her Night at RGU SPORT.

The stats herel are a reminder that, despite progress, too many women and girls still face barriers when it comes to sport and physical activity.

Her Night is not really about a gym session. It is about creating a space where women feel comfortable, confident and supported.
