02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We achieve excellence by continually improving our state-of-the-art facilities. These facilities host events from national competitions to community gatherings. We offer group fitness classes, the PlaySport program for children, community events, and school holiday activities. We teach 650 children to swim weekly at Oban Swim School and support local sports clubs. Partnerships with Oban High School and local junior schools integrate us into the educational framework. We also work with the Healthy Options GP referral charity to manage chronic health conditions and collaborate with Adventure Oban on the 'Out and About' project. Financial security through diligent fiscal management allows us to reinvest proceeds into Atlantis, supporting continuous improvements and new technologies. Serving over 160,000 customers annually, we significantly impact the community. As a large private employer, we contribute to the local economy.
