Additional funding
Additional funding is secured through use of the facilities by learn to swim groups in time allocated for CARE research. Currently, SwimEasy Ltd uses the pool for their learn to swim programmes on many Sundays during the year. The children in the learn to swim programme are involved as participants in the CARE research programme (examples of the research topics in the SwimEasy programme are included in the sample CARE report appended).
