It was a pleasure to attend a Swim Safe event at Royal Victoria Docks alongside the Mayor of Newham and local MP James Asser. ๐
Over the past six weeks, hundreds of children have taken part in free Swim Safe lessons as part of the Summer Splash pop-up season, gaining essential skills and confidence to stay safe in and around the water.๐๐
It's been fantastic to see the positive impact of the programme, and we're looking forward to welcoming even more families when Swim Safe returns in Summer 2027. โ๏ธ๐๐โโ๏ธ
