Happy Mothering Sunday from all of us at Keep on Swimming 💙

Today we celebrate the many ways care, guidance and encouragement show up in our lives.

For some, that’s a Mum.
For others it might be a Step-Mum, Grandma, Aunt, Dad, Foster Parent, Mentor, or someone who simply stepped into a mothering role when it mattered most.

At Keep on Swimming, we see that nurturing spirit everywhere.
In the parents cheering from the poolside, the grandparents bringing swimmers to lessons, the teachers and coaches guiding each child through the water, and the assistants who help create such a supportive environment for everyone.

Many of our team are mums themselves, balancing family life with helping the next generation grow in confidence and skill in the water. And many of our swimmers grow up surrounded by a whole village of people who encourage them every week.

Today is for everyone who mothers, supports, teaches and cares — in all the different ways that shows up.

Thank you for being part of the Keep on Swimming community and for the kindness, patience and encouragement you bring to our swimmers every day.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Keep on Swimming 💙

Today we’re celebrating the love of being in the water —
the splashes, the smiles, the courage, the confidence, and the life-long skills that keep our swimmers safe.

Because learning to swim isn’t just a lesson…
it’s a love that lasts a lifetime.

Thank you for swimming with us 💙

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from Keep on Swimming ✨🎄

As we come to the end of an exciting year, we want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Keep on Swimming throughout the last 12 months.

This year brought big changes as we moved pools, and we are so incredibly grateful to all our families who stuck with us with such confidence, trust, and encouragement. Your continued support truly means the world to us.

To all the children who have written us the most beautiful, heartfelt Christmas cards and drawn such lovely pictures — thank you. They have made us quite emotional and reminded us exactly why we do what we do 💙

And finally, a massive thank you to our amazing team — Hamish, Lily, Nathan, Emi, Erin and Zack. I’m sure you’ll all agree they have been absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t do this without them.

Wishing all our swimmers and families a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. 🎅🎁🏊‍♂️

Father’s Day is this Sunday – and we’d love to say thank you 💙

At Keep on Swimming, we want to take a moment to celebrate the brilliant father figures who cheer from the sidelines, carry swim bags, zip up wetsuits, and beam with pride at every little win in the water.

Whether you're a dad, stepdad, grandad, foster carer, big brother, or simply a steady, supportive presence — thank you for all you do. Your encouragement, patience, and commitment mean more than you know.

We’d also like to say a heartfelt thank you to our own fathers, and the fathers of our children — the strong, supportive men who help us be who we are, both in and out of the pool 💙

We know this Sunday won’t feel easy for everyone. For those navigating loss, complicated relationships, or who simply find Father’s Day difficult — we’re thinking of you too.

However the day looks for you, we’re sending strength, smiles, and support 💙

🌊 Water Safety Week – 14–21 June 🛟
In support of RLSS UK Drowning Prevention Week

We’re joining the nationwide effort to raise awareness of water safety and drowning prevention! 🌍

All swimmers are invited to bring along a set of lightweight pyjamas to their lessons between 14th and 21st June as we take part in practical water safety activities tailored to each group’s ability level.

👕👖 Why pyjamas?
Swimming in clothes gives swimmers a realistic idea of what it feels like to be in the water unexpectedly — an important skill that can build confidence and save lives.

🧠 During the week, we’ll cover:

Basic water survival skills

Safe entries and exits

Float to live techniques

How to get help in an emergency

Let’s help all our swimmers become safer, smarter, and more confident around water 💙

Don’t forget: Bring your PJs!
Lightweight cotton pyjamas are perfect – please avoid heavy clothing like jeans or jumpers.

We couldn’t agree more with this post from Swim England. 🧠💧
Swimming isn’t just great for your body—it’s powerful for your mind too. Regular time in the water has been shown to reduce stress, lift your mood, and boost overall wellbeing.

Our pools may be warm and welcoming, but the confidence and calm you gain can open the door to even more—like the incredible mental health benefits of open and cold water swimming.

Building water confidence is something very close to our hearts. If you’ve always wanted to learn or return to swimming, we’re here to help you take that first step.

📩 Message us to find out more about our adult swimming lessons. It’s never too late to start.
