**The Swimathon Foundation is offering grants of between £300 and £2,500 to help
boost participation in swimming. **

The grants are available to swimming pools, community organisations and charities
who can demonstrate how funding will allow them to help more people participate 
in and enjoy swimming and to make swimming more accessible.

Grants are available for projects such as equipment, making swimming tuition available
to people who would have difficulty accessing normal lesson programmes, providing
increased swimming participation, and creating opportunities for those who can gain
a special benefit through healthy aquatic exercise.
