MADL Scarborough Swimming Club

The Proudfoot Group has made a £500 donation to the Scarborough Swimming Club through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity.

“We’re thrilled to support the Scarborough Swimming Club,” said Valerie Aston, director of The Proudfoot Group. “Their commitment to fostering a love for swimming and developing talented athletes aligns perfectly with our values of community investment and healthy living.”

Established over a century ago, Scarborough Swimming Club boasts a rich history of nurturing swimmers of all ages and abilities. With dedicated coaches and a volunteer-run operation, the club provides a platform for individuals to learn, develop, and excel in the sport. Fees are kept accessible, encompassing annual membership, Swim England registration, and monthly training costs. It has even produced swimmers who have gone on to represent Great Britain and Scotland in open water swimming and the Commonwealth Games.

So far, the money donated has been used as part payment towards junior headsets for our swimmers which enable coaches to give valuable in-time coaching whilst the swimmer is in the water. The donation was received by club captain Eleanor Kirby, vice captains Savannah Foster and Olivia Pawlicka and national swimmers Wiktor Gora and Sammi Baloch.
