Supporting the British Down Syndrome Swimming Championships
PHD Access has proudly supported the British Down Syndrome Swimming Championships for the second year in a row through Powerday, a leading waste management and recycling company.
Record-Breaking Championships
The championships, which took place at the K2 in Crawley on 18th November 2023, were the largest event of its kind in the UK, with 135 swimmers from across the nation competing in 40 races ranging from 25m to 1,500m.
The event was organised by Down Syndrome Swimming Great Britain (DSS-GB), a volunteer-led charity that enables children, young adults, and adults with T21 or Mosaic Down syndrome to reach their potential as elite swimmers and compete at national and international level.
