Hello, my name is Kate…

“I was born with Cerebral Palsy and am permanently in a wheelchair.

As I have got older I can no longer access physiotherapy so my only exercise is on my Mey Walker and swimming.

I love swimming because it makes me feel free and I can actually walk in the pool without holding onto something. I am able to exercise my whole body but especially my upper body which is really good for me. I always sleep better
after a swim.

The volunteer staff at SWANS swimming club are wonderful and caring and I love chatting to them while we swim. I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t go swimming anymore because there were no volunteers. Thank you to everyone that helps me.

There are so many more people like me and we desperately need more volunteers to help.”

Kate, Oxford Swans swimmer
