What is Buddy Swimming?
Buddy Swimming is a swim class designed to help older adults who need support in the pool due to loss of confidence or ill health.
Our friendly team of Ageing Well volunteers help participants to improve strength and flexibility in the water.
There is no requirement for a Buddy Swim participant to be able to complete full lengths of the pool. You are not required to pre-book classes, simply turn up at the venue.
See the timetable below for available sessions and venues.
