Simran Kaur* is terrified of the water. “A priest told my mum to keep me away from water as I could drown,” she says. “I still have a fear of swimming at the age of 40 and can’t seem to find a way to move forward.”
Kaur adds that while swimming hasn’t been accessible for “someone like her”, she has recently taken the steps and signed up for one-to-one lessons with someone from her community.
