Nuneaton & Bedworth swimming club has several different pathways for our children to follow?
From joining as a beginner and progressing through our learn to swim bays the swimmers are truly on the road to achieving great things through swimming.
Swimmers who commit to swimming two or three times a week by the time they reach Bays 3 and 4 may be invited to follow our competitive swimmer pathway and swimmers who attend once a week are able to join our junior learner bay which leads to club swimming.
Both pathways offer a fantastic chance to keep fit and meet friends as well as gaining important lifelong skills. All groups are offered the chance to compete and gain awards to demonstrate their individual progress.

| Nuneaton and Bedworth Swimming Club recently held a Sponsored Swim at the Pingles Leisure Centre to raise money for new equipment and to support their two chosen charities.
Sixty of the clubs swimmers took part, swimming anything from half a length right up to an astonishing 14K in the 3 hour session, where a grand total of £1395 was raised for the club and its charities, by the swimmers, parents, family and friends and local businesses.
The first presentation was to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation – JDRF, the world leading charity dedicated to funding type 1 diabetes research.
Francesca and Jacob Paxton were on hand to present the cheque to JDRF’s Regional Fundraiser Jayme Balossino, during a club session at the Pingles Leisure Centre.
Both Francesca and Jacob have had type 1 diabetes for most of their lives and have both been members of the club since they were six years old. Their father, Steve, is secretary of the local support group, Type One Diabetes in Nuneaton & Coventry (TODINC). He said “We’re very grateful to the swimming club for helping JDRF in the very important work they do. Competing for the club has helped Francesca come to terms with her condition and JDRF are working hard to improve the lives of children like her and Jacob. The support group aims to help local families as well as arranging fun activities. The children have benefited greatly from meeting others like them.” To find out more about the support group, contact Steve on stevepaxton100@gmail.com and for more info on JDRF can be found on their website www.jdrf.org.uk.

OFFICIALS
As a swimming club we need lots of volunteers throughout the club but we need committed support in one area in particular, Officials. We need officials for all team galas and we are expected to provide officials for Open Meets we attend as well. The more officials we have the better, we can then rotate the responsibility for team galas more fairly. Being an official also has big advantages on occasion, you get in for free, get refreshments and often a meal at Open Meets and you're that much closer to the action.
