The Norfolk LGBTQ+ Project is excited for you to join us at our Trans Swim event at the Wymondham Leisure Centre! This health and wellbeing event is open to trans, non-binary and gender questioning adults- 18+. Come get active, swim, and connect with others in a safe and inclusive environment. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just looking to dip your toes in the water, all skill levels are welcome. So grab your swimsuit and towel, and dive in with us at Trans Swim!
Attendees will have private use of the pool at Wymondham Leisure Centre for the duration of the event from 3:30-4:30PM, with 30 minutes after for getting changed. This means the only people present at the pool, other than lifeguards, will be those attending the event. You can arrive as early as 3:00 to get changed, but be aware that there is another swim event that ends at 3:30, so there may still be members of the public using the changing rooms at that time.
