Come swim in the inspiring Aquatics Centre on the Olympic Park in this inclusive, open swimming session. Participants’ tickets will get a third off their first drink at local venue Tina We Salute You, for socialising post swim.
This swim has been inspired by the history of groups that have promoted access to swimming to Trans and Gender diverse people such as TAGS and LGBT swimming clubs like Out to Swim. Further information about TAGS and Out to Swim will be available on the day.
Please see FAQs on Eventbrite for details on clothing and accessibility for the event. If you have any specific queries about coming along, please contact events@newham.gov.uk
18+ years old only and a competent level of swimming is required for the main pool but there will also be a shallow pool area for non-swimmers/ free play.
