GRANT AWARD - Lune Valley Swimming Pool
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £250 to Lune Valley Swimming Pool for 4x whiteboards, backstroke swim flags, swivel hooks and pool footballs.
Lune Valley Swimming Pool, a community-run facility in Hornby, offers swimming lessons, exercise classes, and public sessions for all ages and abilities.

Nine local schools, including a special needs school and an alternative provision school, swim there weekly. The pool aims to provide a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable environment for the community.
They needed to purchase four new whiteboards for poolside learning to replace old, rusted ones that reduce visibility for learners. These boards are used daily, particularly in school swimming lessons, and play a vital role in instruction. Additionally, two sets of backstroke flags are needed for the pool hall to replace ceiling markers lost after a roof replacement, helping prevent swimmers from hitting the pool edge. With the new peaked roof, flags that can be hooked onto the pool walls are required. Also some swivel hooks on the lane ropes need replacing due to age, ensuring continued use for lane swims and advanced swimming lessons. Finally with the balance left over they also managed to get some additional pool footballs.
