Action for Blind People organises events at Bingley pool

8:50am Friday 24th February 2012 in Bingley

Blind and partially-sighted children from across the district have been invited to make a big splash at two swimming days.

Charity Action for Blind People has organised the events at Bingley Swimming Pool on Saturday, March 3, and Saturday, April 21, to offer youngsters the chance to increase their confidence, try new activities, meet other people with sight loss and have fun.

Specially-trained swimming instructors will work with the group, demonstrating new techniques, enhancing existing ones and helping them become independent in the water.

Swim into Action is free and open to blind or partially-sighted young people between the ages of eight and 16.
