Level Water
Level Water is the official charity partner of Marathon Swims.
Level Water is committed to increasing the number of disabled children learning to swim in the UK.
Level Water provides each child with specialist one-to-one lessons until they are ABLE to join group swimming lessons and continue swimming forever. These lessons are for primary aged children with a physical disability or sensory impairment.
Every child who learns to swim is learning a life-saving skill. Once each child has learnt to swim 15m front crawl and backstroke, they can be safe and independent in the water, and can join group swimming lessons or join their local competitive club. But it's not just about swimming...through developing independence in the water, and being able to join mainstream classes, each child develops confidence, self-esteem and resilience.
Level Water work with 485 children a week at 65 sites around the country. By choosing to support us with your Marathon Swim, we can teach more children with disabilities how to swim and offer a lifetime of sport.
