About Aquabats

Aquabats is a Club for the Blind and Partially Sighted providing non-competitive Sports and Leisure Activities in different parts of London

Membership is open to all visually impaired people, their family and friends. Our programme is varied and we try to make sure that events are accessible to nearby rail, underground stations or bus routes.

We believe that visually impaired people should have a wide variety of possibilities to join in the life of our big city. Our unique feature is that we are a small but friendly and inclusive group with access limited only by your ability to travel to events. Volunteer sighted guides are most welcome!
