We had the pleasure of meeting Lennox Lewis, a former professional boxer, this week. He is running a boxing camp in the village for children aged 9 years and over. We were invited along to the awards, and to our surprise a little speech was given about Likkle Swimmers. We hope that in the futureContinue reading “Lennox Lewis- 21st July 2017”

We have been very fortunate to have Camilla Golledge for our first week of teaching here in Jamaica. She helped us to find our feet, and was incredible to watch teach and pick up tips from! We can’t thank her enough for her time, and would really encourage you to read her blog, an interestingContinue reading “Camilla- 23rd June 2017”

A huge success! Over 50 parents and children came along to register, and we can’t wait to get started! Some a little nervous and others over excited, some too shy to speak and others full of hugs, some so teeny tiny and others towering above us!

We held our swimathon on the 21st January and with over 30 swimmers taking part, we made a total of over £9,000, which is incredible! Thank you to everyone that took part and who donated/supported.

We are so excited to be able to announce to you all that we officially have charity status after 4 long months of hard work, and lots of stress! But it has been totally worth it, and we hope that with our number it will open up a whole lot of other opportunities for us.Continue reading “Charity Registration- 3rd January 2017”

We just want to say ‘Thank You’, to everybody that came last night and helped to support our little charity. We are extremally pleased to announce that we made £1,600, which is incredible! Photos to follow…

We are very lucky to have been given the chance to talk to Usain Bolt, an incredible Jamaican Sportsman, about the charity, and even luckier to have gained support from him, he really liked our ideas. Here he is supporting the charity in a new article!

We took our ideas to a friend, Theodore Scaramanga, who very kindly offered to complete the final logo design for us. We spent the evening with him, playing with a few ideas, and different variations to the logo, finally agreeing that the combination of swimming goggles, Jamaican colours and Jamaican flag worked perfectly. After hoursContinue reading “Final logo design- 29th August 2016”

We had dinner with Jake (6) and Joe (5), the two little boys who lost their dad in Treasure Beach. When we told them about our future plans next year, they were very keen to get involved and help us in any way that they could. In particular, they wanted to come and stay withContinue reading “Designing the logo- 22nd July 2016”
