Testimonials

“Connor feels included as part of the Team at Hackney. After undergoing major surgery, swimming has helped him regain his fitness in a fun yet competitive atmosphere. 

He is keen to learn the skills he needs to improve and the coaches at Hackney instil in him the importance of training with accurate technique. Connor wants to be part of an inclusive society and Hackney Swimming Club is starting to make that possible.” Julie, Connors mum

 

“I take Connor swimming every week and I love that if you are a member you are able to do as much or as little as you like. You can train for fun, fitness or serious competition regardless of your identity. Being Neurodiverse brings creative opportunities to life which Hackney Swimming Club are embracing. It's a wonderful journey to be at the start of.” Richard, Connor’s dad.
