The first splash. The holding your breath. The echoes of laughter. The wet hair. The lifted spirits. The joy of gliding through water. The smile that lasts all day.

Swimming is like nothing else. The skills you develop, the confidence you build, and the joys you feel are all universal. Yet access to swimming in the UK is not.

Level Water harness the power of swimming to improve lives for children with disabilities. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim and fall in love with the water.

This year, a few of us (me (Charlotte), Hayley, Sally, Chloe and Adrian are excited (and slightly nervous of course!) to participate in "Chillswim: Coniston 2025" on 21 June, where we will be swimming to raise funds for this incredible cause. Our goal is to raise £500 so that more children can experience the joy of swimming.

Please join us in making a difference! Your support can help provide lessons and opportunities for those who need it most. Together, we can ensure that every child has access to the water and all its wonders.
