A York swim school run by an Olympian and Strictly Come Dancing star has partnered with the Prince and Princess of Wales's Royal Foundation.
Tom Dean, a triple gold medal winning Olympian and Strictly Come Dancing star, opened the doors on the first northern branch of his Swim School at The Mount School in Dalton Terrace earlier this year.
Now the link up with the Prince William and Princess Kate will allow around 1,000 young people across the country, who would not otherwise have access to swimming lessons to receive a package of 10 – 12 sessions each.
The York swim school focuses its teaching on water safety and ensuring that all swimmers feel confident in both pools and open bodies of water with a focus on how the body feels, breathing, and how to self-rescue if stuck in an unsafe situation.
Tom said: “Learning to swim is such an important skill all year round but even more so in the summer months as more and more people head towards bodies of water and we get the heatwaves that we’re expecting each year.
