Christmas Market & Father Christmas

Whilst we had our swimmers inside, outside we had local market stallholders, the Big Red Bus Café and of course…Father Christmas!

A massive thank you to everyone for attending and for the stall holders, the aim was to raise as much money for charity as possible for Action Medical Research – we are a UK-wide charity funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies and children. We fight for answers that can lead to cures, treatments and medical breakthroughs for some of the toughest fights our children face.

Our total raised so far is £771.83 and still counting!

We recently welcomed BBC Radio Solent to our pool to experience one of our Aquatfit classes with Pernel.

These classes have become more and more popular and often sees them being sold out
