Zoe Parker and Lucy Meredith, also known as Yorkshire Life Aquatic, were involved in the original proposals for Leeds’ bid to be European City of Culture which later re-emerged as LEEDS 2023.
They were also featured in the recent short film released to mark One Year To Go to the city’s Year of Culture as they are delivering a project entitled ‘We Are Bramley, Acts of Defiance’ which is part of the LEEDS 2023 ‘My World, My City, My Neighbourhood’ series. Yorkshire Life Aquatic started life at Bramley Baths back in 2013 after some pilot synchronised swimming classes we did really took off and we haven’t looked back since, holding classes, doing live performances and delivering creative projects in the space. In short, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the team at the beautiful baths who have continuously supported our ideas.
“We wanted to be part of the ‘My World, My City, My Neighbourhood’ series because that’s all about supporting projects in local communities and we think the world of Bramley.”
