NORTHERN WAVE SWIMMING CLUB

Northern Wave is a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender swimming club based in centres across Manchester. Most of our members are LGBT+ but we do welcome friends of our community. All you need for your first session is your swimwear, a towel, a pair of goggles, and water - to drink.

We serve competent swimmers aged 18 years or over who want to improve their technique, train for fitness and/or compete in masters competitions. This session will be three lanes of coached swimming so we ask that you are comfortable swimming two lengths without stopping.

New members are welcome and can fill in the online form prior to attending or arrive 15 minutes before the session to register. 

Session Day: Monday 19:00 - 20:00

Payment: £5 standard/£3 concession 

Method: Card payment on arrival or standing order

PREHAB4CANCER

Prehab4Cancer and Recovery Programme is a free excercise, nutrition and wellbeing scheme in Greater Manchester, designed to help people with a recent diagnosis of cancer prepare for and cope better with their treatment. 

Evidence shows that actively improving your physical and mental health can help you recover more quickly from surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and reduce the chance of further problems during and after your treatment. 

Small changes can make a big difference, you may only have a couple of weeks between finding out you have cancer and your treatment starting. The latest research shows that even a small number of prehab sessions can make a difference. The Prehab4Cancer programme is designed to help people take an active role in their cancer care and live as well as possible with and beyond cancer.
