An 11 week programme is about to get underway in the county for the first time.

Disability Sports Wales has teamed up with Carmarthen Leisure Centre for the scheme.

It is aimed at introducing people with disabilities to swimming.

Organisers have invited people from across the county to get involved.

Weekly sessions will be held every Tuesday from 15 January at 4.45-5.30pm.

Disability Sports Wales is a joint initiative between Carmarthenshire County Council, the Sports Council for Wales and the Federation of Disability Sport Wales.

Former paralympian Lisa Pudner is driving forward the scheme in Carmarthenshire and is working with schools and community groups.

Lisa said: "This is a new programme and is a real opportunity for people to receive professional swimming instruction.

"We would encourage anyone with an interest to get in touch and find out about what the course offers."

The scheme follows the success of a series of sporting events and activities for people with disabilities in recent months.

The council’s Leisure Executive Board member cllr Clive Scourfield said: "We are committed to improving and developing sporting opportunities for people with disabilities and this project provides a real platform for them to get involved in swimming.

"I am delighted that so much proactive work is being carried out which will bring real benefits to so many people."
