Active Young People
Swansea Active Young People Team would like to see 'every child hooked on sport for life'.
According to the most recent SportWales School Sport Survey (2018) conducted in Wales, 46.8 % of children in Swansea took part in organised activity (i.e extra-curricular or club sport) on three or more occasions per week. The vision for Sport in Wales refers to this as being 'Hooked on sport'.
