Different Strokes is a new swimming session
exclusively for transgender people which will be held in Edinburgh
twice a month. Different Strokes will meet on the 2nd and 4th
Saturday of each month for an initial pilot period of 10 sessions
(until August 2007)and will be FREE.

The group is open to all transgender people (both ftm and mtf) and is
organised jointly by Transmen Scotland , the LGBT Centre for Health
and Wellbeing and Edinburgh Leisure.

We will have sole use of Glenogle Swim Centre
Glenogle Road, Edinburgh EH3 5JB from 4pm for an hour and we will
also be able to use the sauna and fitness equipment.

So if you would like to take some exercise in a safe and supportive
environment then come along!

Changing facilities are in individual cubicles along the poolside.
We have gained agreement for people to wear a close fitting short
sleeved t-shirt to swim in if required. We hope that this will make
it more comfortable for guys to swim who have not had chest surgery.

Perhaps you have not been able to swim for a while or have never sum
since transition. This is your opportunity to come along and try it
out. You can also come simply to use the fitness equipment or have a
sauna.

The dates for the next few months are:
14th and 28th April; 12th and 26th May; 9th and 23rd June; 14th and
28th July; 11th and 25th August.

After this time we will evaluate the service and hopefully apply for
further funding so Different Strokes can continue.

So, get out that swimwear and we look forward to seeing you on the
14th

Regards

Lewis Reay
