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.

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.
Embedding water safety education in schools Ihrough experienlial learning. In Medway, the
'Together We Can Learn the Lessons- project Iiained teachers and developed curriculum-linked
resources in collatx)ration wtth The Change Foundation.
Piloting peer-led safety education through implemenlalion of Ihe Water Safety Index
in three
schools within the Thames catchment. Students were trained as Water Safety Ambassadors and
Champions, delivering assemblies and mentoring younger peeTS in partnership with RNLI and the
Fire Servi￿.
These additionality projects strengthened our engagement wilh a wide range of audiences-
young people, women, educators. and community groups-and reinforced BSA'S commitment lo
systems change. nol jusl surtace inclusion.
el Wesl Midlands Iwalsall & Wolverhampton)
Initial pilot delivery through Active Black Country highlighted the need for improved pre-course
processes and facility suitability- Insights from this pilot will shaFX regional adaplalions ol BSA
methodology going forward.
fj National Engagement and Inlluence
Partieipaled in APPGS lor Swimming and Water Safety
Worked with the Fire Service and LFB on inland drowning prevention strategies particularfy for
school age young people.
Continued shaping sector narrative around inelusion, orientation, and safety as upstream
