Swimming, water safety and aquatic sport for communities across Sussex.
Too many children are missing out on essential swimming and water safety skills. We're bringing the issue into focus, sharing the coverage and creating practical opportunities through school swimming, free sessions and community programmes.
Swimming is more than a sport. It is a life skill, a source of confidence and a way to belong.
Aquatic 2012 CIC creates opportunities for children and young people to learn, participate and progress — through accessible swimming, water safety and community-led aquatic programmes.
