I am uncertain of where you would be able to get a buddy for swimming, but hopefully other members will be able to advise.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

Hey!
Contact the place where you go swimming, there may be people who attend the pool who live nearby and you could share the journey (so that you are not alone). Alternatively, the organisation may run a transport service to help you get to and from the Swimming centre.
hope this gives you some ideas and helps! Enjoy swimming?♀️ -
@Ashvinney, I hope the members above have given you some ideas to consider
It's great that you're interested in swimming. What do you enjoy about it? I also love swimming and as crazy as it might sound, I enjoy open water/wild swimming tooOnline Community Information Coordinator

Where do you live? If you mention which area/county you live, it could help others identify and come forward. I live in the Thames Valley and have been trying for ages to share transport from Wallingford to a wonderful facility 40 mins away in Reading.

Have you been able to find any solutions yet @Ashvinney?

I note from other threads that you have carers coming in, are they able to take you?Are you comfortable going swimming at the moment with COVID cases being so high? I see that you also have concerns with catching COVID so swimming may not be a good idea at the moment .I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
