Community Open Day with Free Swim School Taster Sessions at The Weald

Fusion Lifestyle, the community leisure charity, that operates The Weald Sports Centre is set to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary this April with a community open day on 26th April.

The open day will see residents, invited in to explore the facilities and activities on offer and raise funds for YoungMinds, the mental health charity for children and young people.

Free swim assessments will be available on the day too as Fusion aims to help all children and adults learn this potentially lifesaving skill. With a third (30%) of children unable to swim 25m unaided by the time they leave primary school and a quarter (25%) of state primary schools offering either no lessons or less than ten lessons per pupil during the academic year 2023/24, Fusion’s Swim School can play an invaluable role in bridging this gap.

Fusion’s Swim School is already helping over 19,000 students learn everything from swimming basic to more advanced swimming skills across 15 different age and ability groups. Classes are a great way to ensure children can swim safely.

Swim teachers will be on hand to meet families and individuals ready to learn to swim at the open days and there will be plenty more to enjoy on the day too.

Anthony Cawley, Fusion’s CEO, commented: “Keeping active with inclusive and accessible sport and leisure that promotes good health, vitality and wellbeing has been at the heart of what we do for the last 25 years at Fusion. We can’t wait to celebrate this milestone by inviting our communities into our centres to enjoy the facilities and find out how they can have fun getting active and living healthy lifestyles. We will be raising much needed money for a great cause too, supporting YoungMinds,
