girls ALIVE swimming coming to Reigate and The Flipper Club

We’re excited to announce that we are collaborating with the charity, girls ALIVE, to offer women’s only swimming sessions at The Flipper Club. We ran our first sessions prior to lockdown 2 and we’re looking forward to (hopefully) less interrupted sessions moving forward!

girls ALIVE is a charity founded locally by two women, aimed at getting women active! Swimming is of course a fabulous all-round sport - great for fitness and toning, for post-injury recovery, it’s for any age or ability and it’s a brilliantly inclusive sport and a community builder.

At The Flipper Club, it’s important to us to be as inclusive as possible, welcoming anyone who wishes to swim or learn to swim through our doors and accommodating them accordingly. We’re passionate about swimming and want to pass on our love for the sport to as many people as possible! Offering women’s only sessions with girls ALIVE, enables us to break down some of those barriers to getting in the water, whilst promoting a positive, sociable environment and allowing women to get fit and boost their confidence through swimming.

These sessions run on a Friday evening, 7-8pm and initially are aimed at intermediate to advanced swimmers. We will have beginner and non-swimmer sessions starting in 2021, as well as, a social swim programme for both non-swimmers and swimmers wishing to create some mental space in their lives and gently exercise in the water with other likeminded women.

To register your interest, email Eleanor at girls ALIVE - eleanor@girlsalive.org.uk. There has been such a tremendous response to the sessions and if we can’t accommodate you now then we’ll do our best to fit get you a space in the near future.
