Make Newham Swimmable - Hackathon with Atlantic Pacific
Join Atlantic Pacific on Friday 5th June 2026 for the Make Newham Swimmable Hackathon at Compressor House, Royal Docks, E16 2QU from 10:30am to 4:30pm. This one-day event brings together partners and local young people to investigate how we increase swimming proficiency in Newham.
Working in collaborative groups, participants will generate practical ideas to transform access to safe, open-water swimming in the borough and access to water safety and swim training from a younger age.
Local NEET young people aged 16–25 are warmly invited, with travel within Newham and London Living Wage covered for their hours. All you need to do is complete the Google form to register your attendance!
