Help Southwark Aquatics support Teddy at Nationals

Southwark Aquatics  is a small, family orientated swimming club, run by volunteer (SASC) parents. The club ethos is to provide training for local children to fulfil their swimming potential at an affordable price. The club keeps its fees as low as possible to keep the club accessible to all.

The club also performs an important social function: friendships grow, children stay fit and healthy and experience the highs and lows of competing. 

One of our swimmers, 15 year old Teddy Kinsler has qualified for a place at both the British Swimming Summer Championships in Glasgow and The National Summer Meet in Sheffield which will both take place next month.

Teddy has qualified for the 50m breaststroke at the British Championships; an incredible achievement, with only the top 24 swimmers in each age group and discipline invited to race. She has also been invited to the English Summer Championships to compete in the 200m breaststroke as one of the next 20 English swimmers in her age group. 

As a club we are trying raise £750 to cover the cost of sending a coach from the club to support Teddy in both competitions.  The races take place in Glasgow and Sheffield and the team coach is required to attend briefings on the eve of both competitions. The coach will also provide vital poolside support to Teddy on each of the race days in what are her first national competitions.

As a small club with very limited funds we will struggle to provide this coaching support without your support. If you can help, please donate and help this inspiring local young athlete – and potential future British swimming star.

We appreciate any kind of donation, no matter how small. Even if you can't donate - please spread the word by sharing this page.

For larger donations of £500+ we will add your company or organisation's logo to Teddy's poolside sweatshirt /swimming hat for both competitions. Both events will be live streamed giving you valuable additional exposure.

Any funds above £750 will be used to support our younger swimmers at Southwark Aquatics to give them the additional support and training they need to follow in Teddy's footsteps.
