The Royal Foundation Launched new Swimming partnership to enable thousands of children and young people benefit from swimming

A new partnership spearheaded by The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales with a community swimming pool in Birtley, Tyne and Wear will support over 16,000 people, including 6,500 children and young people, to take part in swimming activities every month.

The partnership with Birtley Community Pool is providing funding to deliver much-needed swimming lessons and lifeguard training for the local community, enabling young people to learn and develop essential life-saving skills while shining a spotlight on the positive impact of accessible local swimming facilities on the lives of children and young people in the UK.

Additionally, The Royal Foundation is forming a partnership with three-time Olympic swimming champion Tom Dean MBE’s Swim School to provide 1,000 learn to swim packages to children from underserved backgrounds across the UK next year.

Prince William opened Birtley Community Pool which has worked with The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales to provide much needed swimming lessons and lifeguard training for the local community, enabling young people to learn and develop essential life-saving skills. Prince William met Olympians and Paralympians- Adam Peaty, Tom Dean, Louise Fiddes and Maisie Summers-Newton.
