Make a Move in August

The Women’s Empowerment Project is encouraging women to get moving over the summer.

A tennis Club, Sutton Churches Tennis Club, in Gander Green Lane, is running a series of courses over the August period.   Between Monday 6 and Friday 10 August, and Monday 13 and Friday 17 August, there are free courses taking place between 1.30pm and 3.30pm.

They also have a six week tennis course for adults when they join the club – a temporary membership offer for eight weeks will cost £40.  The next course starts on 31 July at 7.00pm to 8.30pm.

Junior summer holiday membership costs just £10 and there are free junior club sessions from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.

Six achieve swimming success

Six women took part in The Women’s Empowerment Project Make a Move initiative and learnt to swim.   The free course, supported by the People’s Health Trust, taught participants how to swim a width unaided.    One participant said they were now looking forward to the summer holidays, and instead of watching their children and family in the water, they would be able to join them.

Ladies get swimming

Twelve ladies are a third of the way through TWEP’s 12 week swimming course.  The lessons take place at Morden Park baths and all taking part are developing their confidence in the water.

The Make a Move project will be announcing information about cycling opportunities soon, so if you are interested in learning to cycle, or know someone who is, keep in touch for further news.

Sign-up for free swimming lessons

Twelve places are available on a FREE swimming course.   Starting on 11 April 2012 and running each Wednesday between 11am and 11.30am, this 12 week course will take place at Morden Park Pool.

This programme, which is part of TWEP’s Make a Move initiative,  is ideal for non-swimmers or those who are weak swimmers and want to improve.  Priority for places will be given to people who have been recommended exercise as part of  managing a medical condition.
