Having a child with autism raises a lot of challenges, but you want them to have the same opportunities as every other child. Emma and Keel and their son Isaac have been learning to swim with Places Leisure and have told us how they have turned a fear of the water into a love of the water.

International Learn to Swim Week – Places Leisure In the wake of the Tokyo Olympics which saw Team GB bring home a whopping eight medals for swimming backed by an additional 12 in water-related sports (canoeing, diving, rowing and sailing) – it seems inconceivable that over one million children could leave primary school in the next five years un...

It’s not just children we teach to swim at Places Leisure. A staggering 1 in 5 adults can’t swim, a statistic we are hoping to reduce!

Emma’s learn to swim journey wasn’t plain sailing with a few failed attempts initially. But now she’s well on her way to being a confident swimmer.

“After a few lessons of doing this and other basic instructions, I was able to float on my front, I was ecstatic, and I was no longer sinking”!

As office life returns and summer approaches, burn-out seems to be a running trend. Finding the time to juggle everything is tough. We want to take advantage of Stress Awareness Month to evaluate stress and its far-reaching effects.

Here are some signs in recognising when your body might be calling out for some much-needed TLC:

• Overbearing thoughts and feelings leading to physical symptoms like headaches - one of the most common signs of stress.

• Memory loss and concentration issues holding back the ability to carry out normal tasks as usual.

• Agitation and irritation in response to things that don’t warrant it.

Do any of these signs resonate with you? Follow this link to join the discussion https://fal.cn/3nNDw and keep an eye out for tips on tackling stress. 👀
