This includes reducing membership fees, offering fewer sessions per week, or reducing the number of young people that can take part. Almost one in five groups fear they will need to halt activities altogether.<\/li>\n<li>75% of groups expect their costs to go up by 50% on average. 51% of community groups need between \u00a31,000 &#8211; \u00a39,999 ($1,155-11,555) to support their cost of living priorities over the next six months but almost 50% reported a drop in financial support (such as from local businesses, trusts and foundations) for their work in the community.<\/li>\n<li>Given the majority of groups survive on less than \u00a310,000 per year, this funding shortfall could prove critical to their survival, especially when the cost of facilities for swimming clubs has already been increased through Covid and afresh now with a rise in utility prices.<\/li>\n<li>43% of groups are concerned about young people and families being unable to afford activities.<\/li>\n<li>Other notable concerns included how the crisis will affect young people\u2019s mental health (19%), and food insecurity (19%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Murdoch recently admitted to finding the prospect of not competing again a tough one despite having apparently concluded his career with Team Scotland at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p>The two-time Olympian left Birmingham <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/commonwealth-games-a-cornered-lion-adam-peaty-roars-back-to-claim-title-in-50-breaststroke\/\">with three bronzes<\/a> as he reached the podium for the third successive Commonwealths, eight years after winning gold in the 200m breaststroke in a British record of 2:07.30 that still stands today.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_252543\" style=\"width: 346px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-252543\" data-attachment-id=\"252543\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ross-murdoch-james-guy-posts-swift-times-on-night-four-of-british-swimming-championships\/ross-murdoch-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ross-murdoch.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,797\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ross-murdoch-200-breast-british-championships\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10\/26\/17&lt;br \/&gt;\n4\/21\/17&lt;br \/&gt;\nross-murdoch-200-british-championships&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Ross Murdoch; Photo Courtesy: British Swimming&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ross-murdoch-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ross-murdoch-1024x680.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-252543\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ross-murdoch-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"ross-murdoch\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-252543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ross Murdoch; Photo Courtesy: British Swimming<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The 28-year-old has also claimed three world and six European medals including two golds in 2016 in London and he appears to have backtracked on his apparent insistence that he was to retire.<\/p>\n<p>Murdoch credits sport with teaching him about himself and learning about interaction, teamwork and empathy and backed Sported&#8217;s calls for help to ensure the community groups survive.<\/p>\n<p>He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCovid wrecked the paths into sport for so many kids over a couple of years but now the cost of living crisis could shut out another generation from getting involved through clubs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was lucky when I was younger in that there were free swimming classes at West Dunbartonshire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But even with a sport like swimming that\u2019s accessible, there is still a price point where you can end up excluded. I didn\u2019t come from money but my parents broke their backs to get me to swimming.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I know I could have been in that position where I might have been priced out of the opportunities that sport brings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd with the cost of living rising, there\u2019s going to be problems in the likes of football or rugby or athletics where the costs of turning on the floodlights will be difficult for a lot of clubs. Or indoor sports with the venue costs going up. That\u2019s really worrying because you see the power of sport and how it can change lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just that kids can become less sporty. They need that socialisation with other kids. You learn how to build relationships, how to interact with other people, how to deal with conflict resolution \u2013 that all comes in one package.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know for me, sport was the biggest way I learnt about myself. Sport taught me how to be a more effective person: to be more empathetic and able to listen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if kids are priced out, we\u2019ll see less-rounded adults. So it\u2019s not just about health and wellbeing, it\u2019s a societal issue as well.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Nicola Walker<\/strong>, Chief Executive of Sported, added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt is a really difficult time to be a young person growing up in the UK right now. Covid-19 has already disproportionately affected the most disadvantaged members of society, widening inequalities, and creating a time bomb in terms of mental health. The cost of living crisis will only exacerbate this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know just how responsible our community groups feel for helping young people and many groups feel they are letting them down at a time when they most need help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am alarmed that many groups will be forced to reduce their sessions or even close, which would have terrible lasting impact on young people and their local communities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ross Murdoch: Cost-Of-Living Crisis Could Force Young People Out Of The Pool World and Commonwealth
