Aim
To support the growth of Aquabears Swim Club and raise funds for Diving Blocks, Manchester 50m practise and train our parent volunteers.
Who are we?
We are a local Swim Club that trains swimmers from the ages of 8-18. Our club is based in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. We produce swimmers that regularly compete in local, county, regional and national competitions.
Why are we crowdfunding?
As we are a small club, in relation to our city competitors, we rely on fundraising and sponsorship. Any funds generated through crowdfunding will massively aid the development of our swimmers.

How we’ll spend the money raised
We can access better equipment to prepare for galas, access 50m pools to provide more experience at this distance and pay for more of our parents to become team managers, coaches, officials and lifeguards.

We have great links with local primary/secondary schools and coach a variety of children across the Heywood, Bury, Rochdale and Oldham areas. Any funds would support the development of a club that has served the local community for decades.
