Men swimming lesson
2023-09-04 | United Kingdom
Black people are more likely to be inactive compare to their white colleagues. Black people are also known to be non-swimmers when compared to their white colleagues. This is more sure in our black community in Southampton. TUVAA took the initiative to start men swimming. A total of 30 men took a plug into the water and a majority of them have improved their water confidence and majority have improved their swimming skills. TUVAA is starting new lessons at Bittern leisure centre to attract more men.
