We are about providing support through training for coaches and officials and thereby better supporting swimmers with disabilities. 

We are holding our AGM on Saturday 19^th November from 10.00-11.30am. at the Genesis Centre, King Street, Alfreton. If you are interested in disability swimming then please join us, there will be time to ask questions and contribute ideas.

Please let us know if you would like to attend by emailing disability@derbyshireswimming.org.uk, just so we have an idea of numbers. We look forward to meeting you.
