football

The DSActive group provides weekly football training, term-time only for children aged 5-18 with Down's Syndrome. DSActive is a new adventure for us but will open the children up to taking part in competition with other large Football Teams in the same position as us.

Training sessions are held at Haydon Wick Sports Centre on Wednesdays from 5-6pm. Term time only. Please feel free to come along and try us out, you need to bring a drink and wear suitable clothing for indoor use. No studs please. Trainers only for a sports hall.

The cost of each session is £3.00 and we ask for fee's to be paid each half term if you decide to join us.

For further information please contact Joanna Messenger on 01285 641384 or joanna.messenger@swindondownsgroup.org.uk

Swimming

We have spaces for the fortnightly swimming lessons on a Monday at the Hydrotherapy Pool in Jefferies Avenue, Swindon. The lessons are 6 – 7pm (including changing time) and cost 50p per child or person with Down's and £1.00 per adult. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Vicky Hunt is the swimming instructor and she attends most term time sessions. The children all work towards nationally recognised qualifications and the session is for all abilities from non-swimmers to those that just want help with technique.
