"I will treasure my medal forever." - Fulvia, WeSwim swimmer. For the first time, we brought together all five WeSwim clubs to participate in an inclusive and supportive event at our inaugural WeSwim Gala. It was an inspiring occasion where each swimmer’s achievements were celebrated, offering an opportunity for individuals to showcase their achievements and take pride in their progress. We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Islington Council, Councillor Anjna Khurana, who contributed greatly to the event with her humour, empathy, and words of encouragement as she awarded the medals. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated volunteers, whose efforts — whether in timing races, supporting swimmers, creating artwork, or baking for the award ceremony — were instrumental in making the event a success. We are also deeply grateful to our funders Culture Mile BID London Marathon Foundation The National Lottery Community Fund and to GLL #IronmongerRowBaths for hosting and extending such a warm welcome. This event was a true celebration of not just swimming, but the strength of our community spirit. #InclusiveSwimming #Community #DisabilitySwimming #LondonCommunity #Inclusion Jane Hemsworth Kendall Robbins Victoria Watkins Jonathan Douglas Catriona McLellan Robin Hu Harriet Glanville Ana-Maria Marcu Elizabeth Shelton Joe Geary Vasu Singh Sujata Luchmun Louise Marfany Sophie Bloxam Adrienne Q.
