Doncaster Dartes Swimming Club
Young people
We aim to develop opportunities where local kids get involved in sport instead of the street corner scene, by providing opportunities locally and providing volunteers with the necessary training.
About this cause
We aim to develop swimming for 5-18 year olds in the Doncaster area. We run various sessions from a basic 45-minute swim set, where younger swimmers develop existing skills and learn new ones. The key aims in this area are to build confidence and friendship in an environment where taking exercise is fun and enjoyable. Our swimmers swim for between 45 minutes and 20+ hours per week depending on the individual.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We bring people together in a number of ways by encouraging friendship of our squads. Older kids in the squads provide a friendly face, whether it is at school or in the street. With parents, they have the opportunity to get involved, socialise, learn new skills; it is sometimes as much a lifeline to parents to get involved. We currently are involved with a number of groups across Doncaster.
