Hi everyone - just posting this on behalf of Optua. We're a local charity and we're launching new ‘Big Splash’ sessions for people with disabilities at the refurbished Lowestoft Leisure Centre from the end of January 2012.
The sessions will run every Friday from 1pm to 2pm. The sessions will be launching on Friday 20th January – a week before the leisure centre’s open weekend from the 27th to 29th to officially open the new facilities.
Big Splash sessions give people with disabilities the chance to swim or learn to swim at an accessible swimming pool, supported by staff and volunteers. The aim is to make it easier for disabled people to learn to swim or do it more regularly. Big Splash sessions are open to anyone with a disability of any age and are also open to anyone recovering from an accident or with a long term health condition.
Optua will also be running a Disability Sport Showcase Day at the Leisure Centre on Saturday 24th March which will give people with disabilities a chance to have a go at a wide range of Paralympic and disability sports so if you are disabled or know someone of any age who is - then please put this date in your diary or please call Graeme Anderson on 01473 836770 for more details about the event or the swimming sessions. Thanks!
