WELFARE
Supporting swimmers, protecting wellbeing and building confidence
At Kingston upon Hull Swimming Club, the welfare and safety of our swimmers is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where every swimmer can enjoy the sport, build confidence and develop friendships. Our Welfare Team is here to listen, support and help ensure that all members feel respected, protected and able to thrive.
