Bexley Beavers is a dedicated charity providing life-changing swimming sessions for people with disabilities, fostering confidence and joy in the water.
LATEST UPDATE
We are making progress towards reopening, however we need more volunteers to help run our service. We need administrators and lifeguards – without some new volunteers we may never be able to open again. Lifeguards need to be at least 16 years old and good swimmers. Full training will be provided. Please offer your help or there is a real chance that this valuable service will be lost forever.
UPDATES
Please check Facebook and this website regularly for updates!
Welcome to Bexley Beavers – a charity run entirely by volunteers providing an accessible weekly swimming session for anyone with a permanent or temporary disability.
Family members and carers are encouraged to join the swimming sessions for which we have exclusive use of both pools with a hoist in the large pool. This provides a safe space and away from the general public.
Our Sessions
Held every Friday at Crook Log Leisure Centre, Brampton Road, Bexleyheath, from 6pm to 7.00pm and are for the whole family to enjoy some downtime together – a unique opportunity to relax in the water.
Our volunteer lifeguards are fully qualified by the Royal Life Saving Society to keep you safe.
There are no membership fees involved, but as we do have to pay the commercial rate to hire the pool, we ask for a small voluntary donation at the door each week.
BASIC RULES
- Children and non-swimmers must be accompanied in the water at all times by a parent, carer or responsible sibling.
- Any member wishing to swim backstroke must do so in the swimming lanes only.
- All members must adhere to lifeguards’ decisions.
If you would like more information, why don’t you pay us a visit one Friday evening and see what we get up to or take a look at this short video.
