This Mental Health Awareness Week (11th-17th May 2026), we’re reminding our community that looking after your mental health can start with small, simple actions.

Swimming can be more than exercise, it can be time to breathe, reset, build confidence and feel connected.

As a charity-run pool, we’re proud to provide a welcoming space for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the water, support their wellbeing and be part of the local community. Discover what sessions we have on this week at Gayton Pool here: https://gaytonpool.org.uk/bookings/

Let's Break The Stigma Around Periods.

We’re proud to be part of a welcoming swimming community where everyone feels confident, supported, and included in the water.

A huge thank you to Training Aquatic Courses and Active Derbyshire for supporting our swimmers by providing free Period Packs, available at all of our sessions.

We know that periods can sometimes stop girls from taking part in sport and physical activity, and we want to help change that. Swimming and being active builds confidence, supports wellbeing, and helps young people thrive, and periods should never be a barrier to joining in.

Together with our colleagues at Training Aquatic Courses, we’re helping to break the stigma around periods and create a positive, supportive environment where everyone can feel comfortable taking part and enjoying swimming.
