Swimming and Aquatic Development

The Swimming and Aquatic Development Officer’s aims are to increase participation in swimming and other aquatic disciplines within Wrexham County Borough. This is through school swimming, the learn to swim programme (adults and juniors), free swimming, aquatic clubs, and other aquatic disciplines.

The development officer works with non-swimmers through to elite athletes within the county following a comprehensive Aquatic Development Plan.

Why Swim?

Swimming is a sport that is accessible to all and it is never too late to learn! Swimming is the nation’s second largest participation activity (after walking) and is an excellent way to meet new people and get fit at the same time.

People can learn to swim at any time - you can become fitter through swimming at any time in your life
Swimming is great fun
You don’t have to be an expert
Swimming is a great social sport
The ability to swim will enable you to participate in many other sports and activities such as kayaking, surfing, aqua aerobics and water polo.
Swimming is ideally placed to help with obesity, osteoarthritis and cardiovascular disease
And most importantly the ability to swim could save your life
