About Us
Our Swimming Club

Based in East Dorset, Wimborne Wagtails is a local club offering swimming, water therapy, swim awards, galas and social activities to people with a wide range of disabilities and health conditions.  
We became a charity in 2015. 

We welcome members who have a disability, (physical, learning or hidden), who are recovering from an operation or illness or have a health condition which would benefit from swimming.

​

We are open to members of all ages and their supporting family, carers and friends.

 

We also have a small volunteer team of swim helpers to assist in the water, subject to availability.

Swim venue and times 

We now swim every Saturday at

Ferndown Leisure Centre until QE Leisure Centre re-opens.

Swimming News 

QE Leisure Centre has now been closed for over 2 years. We do hope to eventually return there if or when the pool reopens.

We are currently swimming at Ferndown Leisure Centre in a public session as we have been unable to find a suitable pool for exclusive use hire.

The time will be 13.35 - 14.20.

Swimming charges

It was decided at the AGM earlier this year to increase the monthly swim charge from £5 a month to £10.  This was due to the Club continually making losses and the reserves reducing every year.  I am sure you will agree that £5 a month was a very favourable rate which we were able to offer to our members for many years.
