Disability

As you may have seen in the Paralympics swimming is an inclusive sport.  Belper Marlins try to accommodate children and adults with disabilities and does have several swimmers that fall into this category.  One swimmer is currently swimming at national level and it is hoped that one day he will be a celebrated Marlin Paralympian!

Obviously the club can only provide lessons and sessions if the individual can be fully supported and is safe within the pool amongst the other swimmers.  An inclusive approach is fostered so any members are provided for within the main swimming sessions.   

If you wish to enquire about whether your child can be provided for within our Marlin sessions please complete the form in Join Us section and include a note on their disability so we can assess, and discuss with you, if it is something we are able to provide support for.

Each session is supervised by qualified lifeguards and provides graded lane swimming for all ability levels.
