One of our amazing Lead Teachers - Helen Grant - was interviewed yesterday by BBC Cambridgeshiree about our participation in the Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK Drowning Prevention Week Campaign.

We're teaching lifesaving skills all this week at our Cambridge centres through our Swimming Lessons. Is your child taking part?

All this week we are supporting the Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK's Drowning Prevention Week in our Swimming Lessons.

The message is simple - follow the Water Safety Code

1️⃣ Stop and think: if it's not safe, don't get in.

2️⃣ Stay together: never go near water alone.

3️⃣ Call 999: If you see someone in danger – shout for help or call 999. Don't get in.

4️⃣ Float: if you fall in, get in trouble or get tired - float on your back, stay calm and shout for help.

Inclusion 🤝

Ensuring everyone, from every part of the community, can access our services and facilities is very important to us. We have a social heart and are committed to supporting everyone.

What a fantastic evening celebrating our Cambridge athletes through the GLL Sports Foundation!

It was wonderful to catch up with familiar faces and meet some of the newest athletes joining the programme. A huge thank you to Cambridge’s newly appointed Mayor, Cllr Maria Cleminson for joining us and helping make the evening so special.

We are incredibly proud of all our athletes, whose dedication, hard work and commitment across such a diverse range of sports continue to inspire us all.

It was also a pleasure to hear a few words from Louis Rolfe, who has been part of the GLL Sports Foundation family for an amazing 13 years.

Congratulations to all our athletes, and we look forward to supporting your continued success! 👏✨

Anticipation fills the air as we prepare to honour our remarkable athletes at this year's GLL Sports Foundation Awards Night.
