Want your children to learn to swim, or to improve their swimming?

Swim Free is a brand new, exciting initiative for children and young people from serving Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary families to learn how to swim.

Funded by Greenwich Hospital and delivered in partnership with the Andrew Simpson Foundation, Swim Free launches this autumn in Portsmouth, Plymouth and Helensburgh, with plans to establish a wider network of swimming locations across the UK.

The programme will deliver free swimming lessons for children aged 8-16 aligned to the Swim England and Scottish Swimming pathways. It will also provide opportunities to progress through specialised training and gain qualifications.

We invite Naval families, swimming venues and organisations interested in getting involved and supporting the programme to register your interest and be kept updated of programme opportunities.
