Swimming is for everyone

Aim: As a Gp I see the positive aspects for peoples health both physical and mental.It brings people together and is life skill all should have

I have swum all my life and I am giving back to swimming all the wonderful things it has done for me . I am a trustee of https://swimtayka.org which funds swim trainers to go to under resourced countries to train trainers to help reduce the statistic that 273,000 people drown each year because they can't swim . 25% of children who leave English primary schools cannot swim. It is with this in mind that I am helping to raise funds to build a facility  for the next 100 years s to make sure local children learn to swim and adults can enjoy the wonderful Wivey Pool. accordingly I shall swim 1,270 lengths  this summer which is the distance across the channel of 21. 5 miles . I swam the channel in a relay in 2012. As some of you may now I work in local surgeries here still as a Gp.I very rarely see swimmers in the surgery
