One very proud swimming moment this weekend 🀍

Eli’s mum sent us this video of him swimming the full length of the pool and we honestly couldn’t be prouder of him. The confidence, determination and progress he’s shown has been amazing to watch 🌟

These are the moments that make it all worth it 🩡

We had to share these πŸ”₯

Just landed in the UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ the FINIS Stability Snorkel is a total game changer compared to traditional swim snorkels. πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ

Why swimmers are loving it:
πŸ’₯ More stable than standard snorkels
πŸ’₯ Comfortable cushioned support
πŸ’₯ Adjustable fit
πŸ’₯ Smooth breathing through every set
πŸ’₯ Perfect for drills, training & performance work
The new colours are a vibe πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸŒΊπŸŠπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸŠπŸΌ

If you’ve used traditional snorkels before… this is your upgrade. πŸ‘Š

12 LIFEGUARDS QUALIFIED IN ONE WEEK πŸ›ŸπŸ”₯

And this is only the beginning…

In our first few weeks delivering the full NPLQ, NPLQ Renewals, and NRASTC courses, we’ve achieved something we’re incredibly proud of:

βœ”οΈ 6 lifeguards successfully completed their NPLQ Renewal and are now qualified and ready to work

βœ”οΈ 6 candidates passed our first full NPLQ course with a 100% pass rate πŸ‘‘

πŸ‘‰ That’s 12 qualified lifeguards in just one week, now ready to work, earn, and keep people safe in and around the water.

βœ”οΈ 3 candidates also passed our first NRASTC course with a 100% pass rate πŸ‘‘

πŸ‘‰ Supporting the next wave of teachers and coaches to deliver safe aquatic sessions.

The NPLQ is not an easy qualification. It demands fitness, focus, resilience, and the ability to respond under pressure in real-life emergency situations. Every candidate worked hard for this, and we are incredibly proud of what they achieved.

A huge thank you to Tom Howells, our Lead RLSS Trainer, for delivering.

Thank you as well to Kelly Long of Rise & Co for assessing the full course, and to Jake Didcock and Cheryl Pottinger for supporting and assessing our renewal candidates 🫢🏼πŸ₯‡

Delivering our first NRASTC course this April was another exciting milestone for Swim Design Space, well done to everyone involved πŸŠπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸŠπŸΌ

It’s the little things πŸ’™πŸ€πŸ‘‘

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt wasn’t just for the little ones… the adults got involved too and that made it even more special 🐣✨

From collecting eggs to the egg & spoon race, everyone joined in laughing, competing, and learning together πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ₯š

Because it’s not just fun… it’s building real skills for all ages:
βš–οΈ Balance and control
πŸƒ Coordination and movement
🧠 Reaction time and focus
πŸ’ͺ Confidence through play
What looks like simple games are actually powerful learning moments helping both children and adults build coordination, resilience, and confidence πŸ’§πŸ’›

And when families learn and play together, the impact is even bigger: stronger bonds, shared memories, and a love for movement that lasts ✨
