Why swimming supports healthy ageing?
-
Low‑impact movement — Water supports the body, reducing strain on joints and making movement comfortable for people with arthritis or mobility challenges.
-
Improved balance — Gentle resistance in the water helps strengthen stabilising muscles, supporting fall‑prevention.
-
Better cardiovascular health — Regular swimming boosts heart and lung function, helping maintain stamina and overall fitness.
-
Increased flexibility — Warm water encourages muscles to relax, making it easier to stretch and maintain range of motion.
-
Strength building — Water resistance provides a safe way to build muscle without heavy impact or equipment.
-
Reduced pain — Many people experience relief from chronic pain when exercising in water due to buoyancy and warmth.
-
Boosted mood — Swimming releases endorphins, reduces stress and supports emotional wellbeing.
-
Social connection — Group swim sessions help older adults meet new people, reduce loneliness and build community.
-
Confidence in movement — Water offers a safe environment to try new movements, helping people feel more capable and independent.
-
Supports long‑term independence — Regular activity helps maintain mobility, strength and confidence needed for everyday living.

who is senior swim for?
Senior Swim is designed for adults aged 55+ who want to support their wellbeing through gentle, enjoyable activity in the water. It’s ideal for anyone looking to stay active, build confidence and enjoy time with others in a relaxed, friendly setting.
To take part, attendees must be able to swim independently and feel confident in the water. This ensures everyone can move safely, comfortably and at their own pace.
At The Evergreen Care Trust we rely on a team of dedicated volunteers who help deliver services across the local community so that older members of our community are supported and cared for. Not only is volunteering a great way to help others, it's also a way of meeting new people, developing new skills and being a part of a warm and supportive community. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, we'd love to hear from you!
