LGBTQ+ Swimming session at Bramley Baths

LLCC are excited to be launching a new set of swimming sessions at Bramley Baths! The pool is booked from 5:30-6:30PM and during that time, the only people accessing the pool will be people who have signed up for the session. There final session before ours is at 5:00, so changing rooms should be empty to anyone but those of us signed up for the session. We welcome anyone who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and aim to be an inclusive space for people of all ages, genders and body types.

Please note that this is not a learn to swim programme. This is an opportunity to access the pool facilitates with other people however there will not be anyone teaching swimming. If you would like to know more about learning to swim in your area we would suggest that you speak with your local leisure centre or visit the Swim England website.

When you arrive at the session, our lovely facilitator Nat (or another member of our team) will be there to greet you, they'll take down your name (be sure to give us the same name you signed up with so that we don't get confused!)

FAQ:

Yes!

Can I bring a friend?

You are more than welcome to bring someone along, but make sure to order an extra ticket for them so that we know the number of people to expect.

Can I come to sessions if I’m not a member of the LGBT Community? LLCC is proud to offer our sessions for free. This is because we receive funding to host sessions and events specifically for people who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ Community.
