Proudfoot presents Heart of the Community Award to Scarborough Swimming Club
Proudfoot’s Making A Difference Locally charity has met with young people of Scarborough Swimming Club to present a donation of £1,000.
Proudfoot Director Valerie Aston visited the club during its weekly practice session at Everyone Active, to watch first hand as youngsters learned new skills and swimming technique from the club’s qualified coaching team.
A member of the coaching team, Nathan, said: “We will be using the £1000 to purchase more headsets for our training squads. They have become an invaluable tool in developing stroke technique whilst swimming.”
Nathan also shared the news that one of the club’s swimmers is shortlisted to join the England Squad at the upcoming Commonwealth Games, starting on July 23 in Glasgow, potentially opening the door to join Team GB at the 2028 Olympics Games in Los Angeles.
Proudfoot Director, Valerie Aston, said: “Scarborough Swimming Club is an amazing group, enabling and offering opportunities to so many young people in a safe environment to, not only learn to swim, but to learn new techniques improving their swimming ability, and also join other swimming clubs in meets held 3 times a year.
“We are delighted to be able to support this group continue the valuable work they do with so many young people from the Scarborough area and beyond.”
