Mamma Swim CIC supports the mental and physical wellbeing of mothers through swimming, community connection and peer support. Our unique peer-supported childcare model enables mothers to swim while their peers care for their children a reciprocal system underpinned by our own public liability insurance, safeguarding policies and risk assessments that remains unique in the UK. From August 2024 to July 2025 we delivered sessions across multiple North London locations, maintaining an active community of over 560 members from a total membership base of over 2,400. Our November 2024 community survey 154 respondents evidences significant and consistent impact 98 percent reported a positive impact on their mental health, 93 percent said Mamma Swim has helped alleviate loneliness, 93percent reported a positive impact on their physical health, and 98percent said they would recommend Mamma Swim to a friend. These figures are consistent with or improved upon our 2023 results across almost every measure. Key activities and achievements during the year included maintaining and expanding our partnership with GLL Better across multiple North London venues continuing our partnership with Community Sauna Baths including free slots for members in financial need delivering free baby and toddler first aid courses in partnership with GLL recruiting and training additional volunteer hosts; participating in the Swimathon 2025 raising 2,461 for Marie Curie; and growing our national profile through BBC Radio 4's Inside Health programme, the TfL Fabric of London campaign and a Why We Swim panel discussion. We applied for grant funding through The Fore. While unsuccessful, we remain committed to pursuing external funding to support our accessibility and outreach ambitions. Our membership demographics indicate an area for development 90perecent of members currently identify as white and our community skews towards those aged 30 and above. Broadening our reach to mothers from more diverse backgrounds and lower income communities is a central ambition for the future. We closed the year with a small surplus designated to our operational reserve fund, building towards a target of three to six months of operating costs.

Our primary stakeholders are the mothers in our community, including volunteer swim hosts, our safeguarding lead and our wider membership.
