Making Swimming Accessible. Together.
Swimming sits at the heart of Zone3.
It’s where our story begins, with a belief in the power of the water to build confidence, resilience and performance.
It’s also one of the most important life skills a person can learn.
And it’s something we believe should be accessible to everyone.
Zone3 partners with Level Water, a UK-based charity working to make swimming accessible to children with disabilities through high-quality, one-to-one lessons. Together, we support practical, long-term solutions that remove barriers and create opportunities in the water, for children, families and communities across the UK.
A Partnership Built on Access
Swimming is the biggest unmet need in sport for children with disabilities. Level Water addresses this directly by working with pools and swim schools nationwide to train specialist teachers and fund personalised one-to-one lessons for children aged 4 to 11.
These lessons go beyond technique. They help build strength, coordination and water confidence, often providing children with independence and freedom that isn’t easily found elsewhere.
Zone3 supports this work through ongoing funding, shared platforms and involvement in key events, not as a campaign, but as a long-term partnership.
“Visiting the pool in Dorking and watching a Level Water swimming lesson was genuinely eye-opening. Seeing the confidence, determination and progress of the children brought home how impactful this work is for families of children with disabilities.
Supporting Level Water through Zone3, and personally, feels like a meaningful way to give back to the sport that has given me so much. Meeting the children and their parents made it clear just how much difference each lesson can make.”

What our Support Enables
Our involvement with Level Water is focused on increasing access where it’s needed most.
Through Zone3 funding, Level Water is expanding its Learn to Swim programme, enabling:
- 18 additional children per week to access one-to-one lessons
- 40 weeks of delivery per year
- Approximately 720 specialist swimming lessons annually
Our support has also helped open access to pools in areas previously out of reach, allowing more families to take their first steps — and strokes — in the water with confidence.
Why this work matters
For many children with disabilities, access to swimming lessons is limited.
Without access, the opportunity to learn this essential life skill and to experience the confidence that comes with it is often out of reach.
Level Water works to remove those barriers.
Creating access. Building confidence. Opening up the water.
How We Support
From now on, £1 from every Zone3 goggle sale is donated to support Level Water.
It’s a simple way to connect what we make with what we believe helping more people gain access to the water through something used every time you swim.
Every pair purchased contributes to funding swimming lessons for children who may not otherwise have the opportunity.
Our Responsibility
As a brand built in the water, we see access to swimming not just as an opportunity but as something that matters.
Through this partnership, we’re supporting a future where more people can learn to swim, feel confident in the water, and experience everything it can offer.

Swim. Support. Get involved.
Level Water raises funds through a series of open-water swimming events, including Dart10k, Bantham Boomerang, Bantham Swoosh and Hurly Burly. These events bring the swimming community together in support of a shared goal: expanding access to swimming for children with disabilities.
Zone3 actively supports these events and will be offering competition entries and opportunities for swimmers who want to take part.
Every entry helps fund specialist lessons and creates tangible impact in the water.
Find an Event
By taking part in a Level Water event and meeting a fundraising target, participants can help fund up to 16 swimming lessons for a child with a disability.
Opening Water Together
Our partnership with Level Water reflects how we approach responsibility as a brand: through action, consistency and support where it makes a real difference.
One lesson at a time.
One child at a time.
With access at the centre.
