Aim: We need to raise £10,000 for our Access Fund to ensure swimming remains fully accessible for EVERYONE in East London.
We’re raising £10,000 for the HAC Access Fund to ensure that swimming remains accessible for EVERYONE in East London.
This fund covers training fees, travel costs, and competition entry fees for those families and individuals who need financial support.
Your donation will directly support the well-being, fitness, growth and success of our diverse swimming community.
Hackney Aquatics Club (HAC) is a community swim club based in East London. We are an inclusive club for all, from young beginners to competitive athletes, para swimmers and master squad members.
Regardless of age, ability, or background, everyone finds a welcoming community at HAC.
Our mission is to break down barriers to swimming and ensure that our membership reflects the rich social, cultural and ethnic diversity of Hackney and its surrounding boroughs.
But success isn’t just about medals — it’s about belonging, confidence and personal growth.
Many individuals and families are facing increasing financial challenges, and we believe no one should miss out on the sport they love due to cost.
The HAC Access Fund provides financial help to swimmers who would otherwise struggle to participate.
In the words of our swimmers:
‘HAC feels like a big family’, ‘everyone is always there for each other’, ‘swimming gives me somewhere where I can belong’, ‘I love swimming with my friends’, ‘being part of a team’, ‘I love improving’, ‘It makes me feel calm’, ‘It clears my mind’.
Every donation makes a difference.
