Update - sharing some fantastic feedback from recipients  18 March 2024

Here is a lovely email received recently and would like to share; we are making a difference.

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to Swim It Forward for providing funding for my daughter's swim lessons this term. Your generosity has had a profound impact on our lives, and I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity you have given my daughter.

At the beginning of the term, my daughter was hesitant and fearful of the water. She wouldn't even get up on the blue mat. However, with the support and encouragement she received during her swim lessons, she has made incredible progress. This transformation is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the instructors.

Not only has her confidence grown, but her enjoyment for the water has also flourished. It brings me immense joy to see her eagerly look forward to her swim lessons and embrace each opportunity to learn and grow. These lessons have not only taught her valuable swimming skills but have also instilled in her a sense of empowerment and achievement.

I am truly grateful to everyone who played a part in making these swim lessons possible. Without your assistance, participating in these swim lessons would have been beyond our means.
