BSA The Black Swimming Association (BSA) Trustees, Annual Report For the year ended 31 August 2024 1. Chair's Introduction 2024 marked four years since the Black Swimming Association was established, and il has proven lo be a pivotal year. What began as a bold inletvenlion lo address aquatic inequity has become a nationally recognised movement lor systemic change in water safely, familiarisalion, and orienlalion. BSA'S work this year spanned London. Wales. Medway. Essex. and the Wesl Midlands, demonstrating both our growing reach and OUT commitment to delivering trauma-inlorrned, community-rooled programmes Ihal meet people where they are. We priorilise those furthest from the waler-nol to teach them how to swim in the traditional sense, but to introduce safely, trust, and possibility. Our flagship interventions, The Blue Hour and Together We Caro. continued lo provide vital water safely education across the UK. We deepened our policy engagement through participation in All-Party Parliamentary Groups on Swimming and Water Safety and contributed lo national strategies with the Fire Service on inland drowning prevention- particularly involving yOLJng people ol school age, reflecting our place al the forelronl ol this public safety agenda. This year also marked a shift in how we posttion OUTsefves structurally. We begin the next chapter with clarity ol purpose. a growing tx)dy ol evidence, and deep gratitude lo the communities, slafl. trustees, and partners who continue to t¥ust and build with us. Danielle Obe Chair ol Trustees The Black Swimming Association IBSAI 2. Objectives and Activities The Black Swimming Association is a registered charrty with the purpose ol advancing public education in water safely, drowning prevention. and equitable access lo aquatic environments Our mission is realised through.. Trauma-inlormed water safely orienlalion - Community-cenlred programme delivery Peer-led education models Sector advocacy and policy input Evidence-based research and insights Unlike Iradttional swimming inilialives, BSA'S inlervenlions focus on the foundational stages of

aquatic safety-meeting participants before they are ready lo engage in water based activities or sports, building confidence. and equipping them with life-saving knowledge. Our three delivery pillars are= 1. Programmes- Practical interventions that provide cuhurally sale enty FX)irrts into aquatic aclivily. 2. Research & Insight- Tools such as the Water Safety IndexTM and Our Swim Story intorm national practice. 3. Policy & Advocacy- Positioning water safety and inclusion as essential components ol health and eduealion systems. 3. Achievements and Performance al London Delivery (Core Boroughs) In 202>2024, BSA continued to deliver trauma-informed water safety. orientation. and aquatic familiarisalion programmes across six London boroughs= Hackney, Southwa￿, Lewisham, Newham, Greenwich. and T¢)wer Hamlets. Our flagship programmes, Blue HoLJr and Together We CarvE>. reached over 430 participants, the majority ol whom had never engaged with waler-based activities beloie. 95°/o ol participants demonstrated measurable improvernent in aquatic confidence and water safety knowledge by the end ol their programme rotation. A significant number ol graduales progressed into praclilioner roles, receiving STA-accredited qualilicaiions and training lo t)eeome activators and ieaeheTS-creating a sustainable, community-led workforce model. bl Wales BSA Wales expanded its footprint with programme delNery across three cf(ies. By strengthening relationships with local authorities and regional partners. we were able to embed our methodology in new settings and adapt delivery lor devolved policy and community contexts. cl Community-Based Addilionality Projects Alongside our core programming, BSA delivered a series of innovative addilionality projects designed lo widen access, diversify aquatic engagement, and foster peer-led learning. These projects extended our impact by= Supporting transition pathways from initial water orientation programmes into mainstream aquatic environments. For example, young adulis (aged 1 &251 in Lewisham progressed from BSA'S trauma-inlormed delivery into leisure ￿ntre sessions. with opportunities to puisue NPLQ or Level 2 Teaching bLJrsaries. Introducing diverse aquatic swrts to underrepresented gTOUPS. In Southwark and Hackney, participants explored sailing, kayaking. canoeing. and rowing through slruclured sessions led by experienced community coaches and Black sailing mentors-building confidence, cultural resonance, and practical aquatic skills.

Delivering inlergeneralional engagement models. such as mother-and-daughler canoeing laslers in partnership with Brttish Canoeing. creating safe and emFX)wering experiences for family units.
