This week is Drowning Prevention Week, and we are doing our part in spreading the message of "Float to Live".

If you find yourself in difficulty in the water, remember these steps:

- Tilt your head back with your ears submerged
- Relax and try to breathe normally
- Move your hands to help you stay afloat

Remember it, and share it 🩵

Looking for a way to mix up your swim session?

Then check out our Swim Fit Board at Oldham!

Anyone can use the cards, as they provide an alternative way to work out, improve fitness, reach targets and train for personal challenges in a social environment. It provides a mix of different routines, strokes, speeds and lengths to encourage a more varied and challenging workout than traditional lane-swimming. With various challenges, there is something to suit all abilities and interests.

These cards are part of a motivational pool-based fitness program designed to help you reach your health goals, improve stamina, and mix up your typical lap swimming. Using self-guided cards, it combines different drills, speeds, and strokes to maximise your aquatic workout.

With all of the sessions, you will notice that there is a warm-up, skill development, main set and swim down. This will give your swim session a clear structure to follow. There are also helpful hints and tips throughout to keep you swimming in the right direction.

So, next time you come along for a swim, try out our cards and see how you get on!

Meet Lucy 👋

Lucy is one of our brilliant customers at Saddleworth and has recently taken part in a long-distance charity walk to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease! Keep reading to hear all about it from Lucy herself:

"On 4 June 2026, I joined friends on a long-distance charity walk from Stockport County's Edgeley Park to the John Smith's Stadium in Huddersfield. Along the way, we called at a number of football and rugby stadiums, raising awareness and much-needed funds for Motor Neurone Disease.

The completed distance was an incredible 37.55 miles, covering a staggering 86,563 steps. It was both a physical and mental challenge, but I know it is nothing compared to what people living with Motor Neurone Disease face every day.

It was a memorable experience and a cause that meant a great deal to all of us. If you would like to support this worthy cause, there is still time to donate. Please click on the link below. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps make a difference in the fight against Motor Neurone Disease. Thank you for your support."
