This summer, Love to Swim is celebrating 15 incredible years of helping children and adults across East London learn to Love to Swim!

To mark this milestone, we're proudly fundraising for Bliss, the UK’s leading charity for babies born premature or sick.

Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. They rely on donations to fund their work, and without our help they won't be able to reach the 90,000 babies needing neonatal care each year.
