New free women only swim buddy sessions

We now have a new, women only, swim buddy session at York Hall Leisure Centre on Mondays 12.30-13.30 during our women only free swimming sessions. This is in addition to our existing swim buddy session at Mile End Park Leisure Centre and Stadium on Tuesdays. 

Our swim buddy sessions have a dedicated swim buddy, a qualified swim instructor, who is available by the pool to help you with your swim technique or build confidence in the pool.

Whether you’ve never been in the water, or you’re a regular swimming looking to improve your technique, our swim buddies are happy to help! Our swim buddies are easy to spot – they’ll be wearing an orange Be Well T-shirt. Just give them a wave and they’ll come over and assist you. 

Please note these sessions are not structured lessons but our swim buddies will be more than happy to give you some drills and techniques to work on. 

Women attending these sessions will need a free swimming membership (available to women and girls aged 16 years and older living in Tower Hamlets Borough)
