Last night we celebrated the incredible talent across Croydon at the GLL Sport Foundation Awards 🎉

A record 140 local athletes will be supported this year, with over £100k of investment helping them train, compete and achieve their ambitions.

From rising stars to elite performers, it was inspiring to see the dedication, passion and community spirit on show 💪

Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients – we’re proud to support your journey!

We’re proud to support Pride Month and recognise the ongoing contributions of the LGBTQ+ community.

This June, we’re shining a light on Q***r Croydon, who meet at our centre monthly to connect, share experiences, and build a welcoming community through swimming.

As we kick off the campaign and in honour of Mental Health Awareness Week, today we highlight the importance of mental health and wellbeing.

Swimming offers a fantastic way to keep both the mind and body active and healthy.
