Swim School Distance Medal Week starts Monday 15th June! 🏅

This week, our Swim School swimmers will be taking part in Distance Medal Week, with challenges ranging from 5 metres all the way up to 1 mile! 🌊

Every child will be working towards their own personal achievement as part of our structured Swim School programme, building confidence, endurance, and celebrating their progress in the pool.

Keep an eye out for Active Alfie, who will be visiting centres across South Lakeland and Preston to help our swimmers celebrate their fantastic achievements!

If you spot Active Alfie, be sure to stop and say hello and don't forget to share your photos with us using .

Good luck to all our swimmers – we can't wait to see what you achieve! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏅

💧 RLSS Drowning Prevention Week 13th - 20th June 2026💧

We’re proud to be supporting RLSS Drowning Prevention Week, with a dedicated focus on water safety across all lessons.

From Swimbies through to Foundation, Development, Academy and Adult classes, every swimmer will take part. While water safety is always part of our programme, it will be the main focus throughout the week ✅.

As part of this, swimmers in our Development classes will be asked to bring additional clothing to swim in, helping create a more realistic experience of being in the water unexpectedly 👕👖👟. Teachers will advise what to bring 🧑‍🏫.

Helping our swimmers build confidence and stay safe in and around water is at the heart of what we do ❤️🌊
