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.

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.

Why do I have to complete a new online membership form (from July 2023)? We have switched to an online membership system as part of our development plan. Not only does this make us more accessible, it also reduces the amount of administration required for our small team of volunteers between swim sessions. All swimmers are invited to signup to an online SDSG Membership Account, with Member Mo Jo. Many of you, may already be familiar with Member Mo Jo through other charities/clubs. We aim to have fully switched to Member Mo Jo by September 2023. For those without Internet access or a carer to help, SDSG volunteers are available on a swim night to help members complete the online form. Should you have any other questions please contact us.

Teaching & Learning @ SDSG As SDSG we aim to tailor the activities we offer to the children, young people and adults we work with. To faciliate this, we group people based on one of three pathways: informal, semi-formal and adaptive. Where appropriate, we may also group by age, stage and physical ability. When deciding which activities to join in with or to book, please consider the pathway it is aimed at and ensure it meets your needs and ambitions. The pathways are flexible, so if you are not sure, please speak with the teacher/instructor for more information.
