Lifestyle
From pets being welcome at no extra cost, to free wi-fi, gym memberships and resident events, we’re always on the lookout for ways to make our community’s rental experience bigger and better. And we’ve got a new one for you: Access to fitness training with a Team GB Olympic medallist.
We’ve teamed up with Dan Wallace and the team behind digital training platform Swimmr to help our communities dive into the world of swimming.
Did you know, swimming is known to offer stress relief, better mindfulness and improved social interaction. According to Swim England, 74% of swimmers agree that the sport helps release stress and tension.
With operational neighbourhoods spanning the UK, from Brighton and Hove to Edinburgh, the partnership is Moda’s further testament to creating healthy communities across the UK. The partnership will give residents exclusive discounted access to Swimmr’s online courses and training plans, as well as an opportunity to connect with swimming communities in their city and across the UK.
And that’s not all - as part of the ongoing partnership, Moda will also launch resident-led swim clubs and identify local swimming spots in all cities to encourage local swimming as popularity continues to grow.
To celebrate the new partnership, we invited members of the Brighton and Hove community, including residents of nearby Moda, Hove Central, local swimming clubs, athletes, and others, to a special sea swim event, coached by Dan himself on Brighton Beach. Post-swim, guests donned Change Robes from Red and headed for sauna sessions and organic treatments At Beachbox Spa. Once we had dried off, we then headed to see our partners at Bison Beer where we enjoyed Moda branded beers.
“Partnering with Swimmr is a great way of encouraging our communities to enjoy getting in the water and all the benefits swimming has for fitness and mental health,” said Moda’s Director of Wellbeing Lydia Eustace. “We love working with Dan and the Swimmr team and can’t wait to take this partnership forwards.”
Dan, who’s recent achievements also include swimming the English Channel solo earlier this year, said: “Swimming has given me more opportunities, friendships, and memories than I could have ever imagined. I want to help everyone feel the joy and ease of swimming anywhere, lake, sea, or pool - without hesitation. It’s a pleasure to be involved in Moda’s vision for creating healthier lifestyles, and with Swimmr, we’re helping people improve their swim skills whilst promoting water safety.”
