June 2006 - DARE to Swim Campaign Approved for Funding

DARE (UK) is set to undertake a nationwide campaign to get people swimming.  The DARE to Swim project is an ambitious campaign that will run in 6 regions across the country that aims to train swimming coaches.  The campaign aims to use those who qualify through the DARE to Swim project as the next cycle of coaches to train new recruits, as such providing a level of sustainability for the project and a continued avenue of education and employment to those that wish to continue down that route.

The programme has been made possible by the Awards for All funding body who have granted us the money to run the project.  The six regions we will be working in are;

South West
