Silversands National Learn to Swim Week 22–26 April 2025
Come join us for Silversands National Learn to Swim Week as we celebrate 11 years of Swim Weeks! Happening at 16 locations around Grenada, the semi-annual swim weeks have brought in over 10,000 swimmers during those 11 years. Many thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers, and friends who have made this happen.
This year, the Silversands National Learn to Swim Week will take place the week after Easter, 22–26 April 2025. Free swim lessons are being offered throughout Grenada for both adults and children (5 years and older) at 16 venues from Sauteurs to Grand Anse Beach to Carriacou and Petite Martinique. You may register by going to www.getgrenadaswimming.com.
Quote from management at Silversands: “Naguib Sawiris and Silversands are delighted to be able to support Deb Eastwood and Get Grenada Swimming as they continue their outstanding work teaching children to swim and be safe in the water. Over the 10 years of this programme, they have probably saved many lives by teaching young people to swim at our beautiful beaches by giving them a new level of competence. We thank them all for their excellent and much needed work.”
Lessons will be 45 minutes long and start on the hour between 2 pm and 6 pm each day, Tuesday to Saturday. Participants may take lessons all 5 days.
Deb Eastwood, director of the initiative, said lessons will be offered until 6 pm in the evening at ALL locations to make sure that those who work have a chance to attend. She gave gratitude to Silversands (a major sponsor), Budget Marine, Ting/Star Malt, SIFH, Spice Isle Marine, Acado, and Waggy-T.
