55+ Swimming Survey

55+ Swimming Survey

Age UK Northamptonshire have been approached by the Amateur Swimming Association East Midlands in relation to applying for funding to support people with water based activities. Before we do so, we need to know who would be interested in such a programme. This can include learning to swim or simply just to be able to go swimming when they felt like it. However there are classes such as aqua jog and aqua fit that have similar benefits to going to a gym but are done in the water.

We would appreciate it if you could fill in the following survey and reply electronically to lisa.thorneycroft@acnorthants.org.uk by October 31^st 2012.
