The Blackpool Polar Bears is a registered charity and club whose prime aim is to promote swimming for individuals with disabilities.

Blackpool Polar Bears is more than just a swimming club—it's a community where everyone, regardless of ability, is welcomed, supported, and celebrated. As a registered charity, we aim to empower individuals with disabilities to experience the joy, freedom, and confidence that swimming can bring.

Each Sunday morning, we turn Blackpool Moor Park Swimming Pool into a hub of activity, excitement, and personal achievement. From 8:55 am to 12:00 pm, our swimmers take to the water, following a schedule tailored to their individual needs and abilities, ensuring everyone makes the most of their time in the pool.

Our sessions are about more than just swimming—building friendships, boosting confidence, and celebrating every success, big or small. We take pride in providing a fully inclusive environment where each member, regardless of disability, is encouraged to progress at their own pace while feeling valued and supported.
