About Us
At the Sri Lanka Street Workout and Calisthenics Association (SLSWCA), we are passionate about empowering individuals through dynamic and accessible fitness disciplines. Established to promote calisthenics, parkour, and street workouts across Sri Lanka, our organization is dedicated to fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and continuous growth.
We aim to inspire people from all walks of life to embrace fitness as a path to personal growth, community connection, and lifelong health. By focusing on education, safety, and skill development, we provide opportunities for athletes and enthusiasts of all levels to explore their potential in a supportive environment.
Beyond fitness, SLSWCA envisions a future where these sports are celebrated nationwide, transcending barriers and reaching communities where access to traditional sports may be limited. Together, we strive to build a stronger, healthier Sri Lanka, one movement at a time.
Mission
The Sri Lanka Street Workout and Calisthenics Association (SLSWCA) is dedicated to promoting and developing calisthenics, parkour and street workouts as accessible and inclusive forms of physical fitness across the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (hereafter referred to as Sri Lanka).
We aim to foster a community of athletes that are dedicated to personal growth, skill development and camaraderie. Additionally, our mission is to elevate calisthenics, parkour and street workouts as recognised sports throughout Sri Lanka, promoting their practice island-wide, particularly in low-income and middle-income residences, as well as education zones where accessibility to other sports that require significant infrastructure investment may be limited.

Together, we strive to create a supportive and engaging environment where all participants feel valued and empowered to explore, connect, and thrive.
