Leading the Charge: Empowering Diverse Voices and Embracing Inclusion at Mencap NI (All views expressed are personal)
Most of you will know that I’m training for a triathlon, I know, I know, I go on about. As someone who is swimming in pools everywhere I go, I've noticed a striking difference in pool temperatures across various locations. It's concerning but I think there’s a bit of a common theme that pools in areas of higher levels of deprivation, pool temperatures are significantly colder. I know it’s costly to run a pool but this disparity not only affects comfort but also raises questions about accessibility and equity in swimming facilities. COLD POOL - Beneficiaries = makes a good business case to close community resources if not being used. This is my own anecdotal evidence and I would love to stand corrected. Swimming should be an activity that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their background or location. It’s only now as an adult that I realise I was never taught properly to swim. I’m fortunate to have an amazing swimming coach Maciej Zielinski who’s support has enabled me to develop these lifesaving skills. Addressing these disparities is crucial to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to experience the benefits of swimming. Let's work together to advocate for more inclusive and equitable swimming environments for all. 💙 #SwimmingDisparities #EquityInSwimming #InclusivityMatters

Swimming in open water can be a fun adventure for kids, but it’s important to keep safety in mind. Here are three tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience: 🔵 Start Slow and Shallow: Introduce open water gradually. Let your child explore shallow areas where they can comfortably stand. This helps build confidence before venturing into deeper waters. 🔵 Always Swim with an Adult: Open water can be unpredictable, so it’s crucial that children never swim alone. Make sure a responsible adult is supervising at all times and stays close enough to provide assistance if needed. 🔵 Understand Water Conditions: Teach kids to respect the water. Before swimming, explain the importance of being aware of conditions like waves, currents, or tides. Ensure they know to stick to designated swimming areas where lifeguards are present and it's safe for them to enjoy. Follow these tips to help your child build confidence while swimming in open water! #TheBoostFlipper #swimming #SanDiego #California #OpenWater #KidsSwimSafety #WaterConfident #SwimConfidence #FamilyWater #BoostFlipper #SwimTips #WaterSafetyFirst #FunInTheWater #SwimmingTips

A swimming club asked me to do tests for their swimmers ages 14 to 19 years old. Some results: 1. We did 16 tests in less than 1 hour with automatic reports generated right away 2. Tried a testing protocol - 75% effort and 90% effort. Some interesting changes in swimming technique. 3. We tested our technology "under pressure". 4. We will see what the coach and the swimmers find useful in the reports and analyses. 5. We tried a business model for clubs and swimming camps: so they can use MySwimEdge tests as a value added service. Check out some of the insights based on the data and graphs from MySwimEdge tests. Pro level data becomes available to any swimmer and coach now. - right arm catch phase is more efficient – minimum speed of the right arm strokes is higher - left arm strokes seem longer by time, BUT not by Distance-per-stroke (less efficient) - water slipping sometimes during the left arm strokes - swimmer focuses her mind on the above the water part of the stroke, not on the underwater efficiency"

The percentage of people who don't know how to swim varies widely by country, age group, and access to swimming education. Here are some general insights based on available data: - **United States**: Around 54% of Americans either can't swim or don't have all of the basic swimming skills according to the American Red Cross. - **United Kingdom**: Approximately one in three adults cannot swim according to a 2022 survey by Swim England. - **Australia**: A 2020 Royal Life Saving report indicated that 25% of adults are unable to swim. - **Global Estimate**: It's challenging to provide a global percentage due to varying data quality and availability, but estimates suggest that significant portions of the global population lack swimming skills, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The inability to swim often correlates with socioeconomic factors, lack of access to swimming facilities, and cultural attitudes towards swimming. #SwimSafety #LearnToSwim #WaterSafety #SwimEducation #DrowningPrevention #SwimAwareness #SwimSkills #WaterConfidence #GlobalSwimStats #SwimForLife #SwimmingLessons #SwimSmart #SwimCulture
