Story

Charlie has been having 1:1 swimming sessions funded by ups n downs since he was 3, he is unable to swim yet, has times when he doesn't want to get in and finds swimming a little scary although this is much better compared to last year. (He rarely wants to get out of the pool after swimming though!)

Ups n Downs have given Charlie and his friends the opportunity to access these 1:1 lessons, which add to all the other things this fabulous charity do for the families of children with Downs Syndrome

So, with the help of mummy and daddy he will be having a walk/float/swim to help raise funds for the charity that has supported us since Charlie was born.

He will try to walk the width of the pool without constantly holding on to one of us, with the occasional float held on to one of us, this is a huge task for Charlie as to let go of us is scary for him.

His training for this charity event has already started

It would be great if you could spare a pound or 5 for this fantastic charity.

Thank you
