Name: Abigail Child
Age: 20
Year of the Fix: 2015
Location: Leeds
Campaign: To encourage people of all ages to learn to swim

I began swimming when I was quite young.

Unfortunately, many people reach adulthood without ever having a lesson.


I’m now an instructor and I really enjoy it. It’s nice to build people’s confidence in the water because you never know when you might need to use your swimming skills.


My Fixers project is to encourage people to learn the basics of swimming.


Not only does it keep you fit, but it can also save lives.

Amateur Swimming Association (ASA)

Chris Rinder from the ASA supports my project. He agreed to be interviewed to appear in my broadcast piece.
