'Fit as a Fish' Project

The Devon 'Fit as a Fish' Project is part of a National Big Lottery funded programme called 'Fit as a Fiddle' which aims to promote activities to people over 40 with the emphasis on 'making a difference' to our older people's health and well-being'.

Swimming is a low risk, low impact exercise which improves flexibility and provides an excellent cardio vascular workout. 'Fit as a Fish' promotes regular exercise, healthy living and social inclusion through swimming groups across Devon. Qualified instructors and volunteers deliver a varied programme of activities including learning to swim lessons, aqua aerobics and swim fitness sessions.

Swimming groups also have a social aspect, with visiting speakers and tea/coffee sessions. For details of swimming groups in your area, please contact the 'Fit as a Fish' Co-ordinator Tel: 0845 296 7810
