This page explains what the charity is about and how to sign up. Welcome to Accessible Swimming We are a user led membership charity offering swimming opportunities for people with a disability of any age, people aged 50 and over and also their family who live in Scarborough, Whitby, Filey or the surrounding district. A Message From Our Chairman: Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Scarborough Disabled Swimming Group. As a long‑standing, user‑led charity, SDSG has always been shaped by the people who swim with us, volunteer with us, and support our mission. It’s a privilege to serve as Chair and to help guide a group with such a strong sense of community, inclusion, and mutual support. Our purpose is simple: to make swimming accessible, enjoyable, and confidence‑building for disabled people of all ages and abilities. Every fortnight, I see the difference that a welcoming environment, dedicated volunteers, and adapted opportunities can make — whether it’s someone gaining independence in the water, a family finding a supportive space, or a swimmer discovering a new sense of achievement. We are proud of our history, but we are equally committed to the future. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on removing barriers, strengthening our volunteer team, and ensuring that everyone who joins us feels valued, supported, and encouraged. If you’re thinking about getting involved — as a swimmer, family member, volunteer, or partner — I hope you’ll feel the warmth and purpose that define SDSG. You are very welcome here. Richard Chair of Trustees Objective: “To provide or assist in the provision of facilities and events for recreation, rehabilitation, sport and leisure time occupation, (in particular but not exclusively by the provision of facilities and opportunities for swimming,) for people with disabilities* and their families, in the interest of social welfare with the object of improving their condition” Partnerships: We work with many local businesses, groups and charities to improve and develop accessibility and health improvement provision for people with a disability in the Borough of Scarborough. Similarly, we receive new member referrals from Social Services (Disabled Children Service and Adult Services), Occupational Health, our local Home Improvement Agency (White Rose), NHS Specialist Nurses, GP Practices, NYCC Wellbeing Service and our local Youth Services to mention a few. It is amazing what can be achieved through working together! Please contact us to find out more. Main Fortnightly Swim sessions: Since 1974 SDSG has been providing fortnightly accessible swimming sessions and we have grown to be one of the largest disabled swimming groups in the country. We are a user led charity and our sessions at Scarborough Sports Village are open to anyone aged 50 and over and anyone of any age with a disability, along with their family. We operate a flat rate entry fee for our swim sessions and do not charge extra for partaking in Aqua-fit, NASCH Distance Badge or Water-Skills Award Scheme etc, to ensure people are not put off partaking in these activities. Subject to funding, we also offer extension activities during the week, from time to time. Our volunteers and staff are trained in various techniques of aquatic development, as well as expertise in working with members with anxiety, physical, sensory, communication or behaviour challenges. We also have specialist equipment and toys to make your time with us extra special. In partnership with parents and care givers we provide adaptive swim activities that use techniques that place emphasis on swimming skills modified or adapted to accommodate individual abilities, needs, and goals, regardless of age or disability/medical condition. BECOME A MEMBER NHS EXERCISE GUIDANCE Charity Excellence Quality Mark: We are pleased to have been awarded the Charity Excellence Quality Mark.

Find Out More Over 50 S wimming Swimming in any form is great exercise. Not only is it a whole-body workout, but thanks to the extra resistance of water, you’re building strength and boosting your cardio fitness at the same time. The buoyancy offered by the water means you’re less likely to hurt yourself and makes it ideal if you’re recovering from injury or returning to exercise after a long lay-off. These sessions are also a great opportunity to meet up with friends, socialise and get active together. Not only does this make them great for your physical wellbeing, but your mental health as well. Join Us View Swim Dates Volunteering We are currently offering Aquatic Helper Placements for young people aged 16+ to gain experience and skills working with people with SEND. Placements normally last 8 swim sessions, where you will have the opportunity to carry out various roles within the charity and complete the STA Aquatic Helper Award.

Swimming isn't just about being able to have fun in the water with family and friends (although it is and you should!). Its about knowing what to do if someone gets into trouble. You will also learn key water skills, such as, floatation and treading water. Plus much more! For our adaptive learners , our swim teachers are there to support you in your learning and assesses you against the award scheme. Supported by local schools. Email Us More Information COMING SOON I.LEARN TO SWIM From time to time we offer the opportunity for children with SEND to work towards The Learn to Swim Awards through a series of adapted lessons . The Awards are divided into 7 progressive stages. They make up the core, national syllabus of learning to swim for primary school aged children. They are designed to reward your child for their development of the essential aquatic skills they need to be confident, competent and safe in the water. Should a child not meet the Learn to Swim Award criteria within the series of classes, we will endeavour to match their progression to another award scheme. To access these classes you must be a member of SDSG and be regularly attending our main fortnightly swim session. More Information I.DEVELOP Adult Swimming From time to time we offer the opportunity for young people and adults with SEND to work towards The Swim England Adult Swimming Framework through a series of adapted lessons . The Adult Swimming Framework is about improving confidence, technique and safety in the water, with no age limit. Not everyone is able to reach their potential in the water during their school years . This is where swimming lessons using our Adult Swimming Framework can help. Around 30% of adults in the UK can’t swim a length. Yet, one quarter of adult non-swimmers would like to learn how. Adults have very different needs to children when learning to swim – as an adult, you have different motivations and learn in different ways. Our Adult Swimming Framework takes this into account, providing goals and targets suitable for those aged 16+. To access these classes you must be a member of SDSG and be regularly attending our main fortnightly swim session.

Thank you Huge impact for a deaf swimmer Wow, wow, wow! Tracy Attrill on Oct 23, 2019 This product is absolutely amazing, my son is profoundly deaf and has been training 3 years with no access to language, the only way he has ever been able to have feedback is for him to come out of the pool, dry his ears, put his hearing aids in and have a conversation with his coach. The my jukes headset means that he now has instant feedback from his coach and can hear exact instructions without having to look around to see what others are doing. You can see his stroke/technique/drill instantly improve as his coach is speaking to him - it’s amazing to watch! I sat poolside with a mixture of emotions one minute excited, happy and buzzing and the next wanting to cry happy tears, watching my boy being about to communicate with his coach. The coach LOVES the headset and makes full use of it in other sessions when my son isn’t training and wants to purchase more for the club. To say the club is buzzing, I’m buzzing and my sons buzzing from having this is a total understatement. Thank you, thank you, thank you my jukes 😊😊😊
