Free Swimming
Why Offer Free Swimming?
This programme is seen as a major way in which we can create more incentives for people to lead an active lifestyle. Swimming has a wide appeal and over 35% of the population swim in any one year.
For young people swimming can be fun and can instil a lifelong interest in exercise. By offering free swimming we are aiming to target the least active and remove any financial barriers to participation. Swimming is a great sport for all the family to take part in together.
As a low imparct sport, it is one of the easiest ways to get fit, particularly for those who haven't exercised for some time. It is therefore an ideal choice for the over 60's; helping to improve flexibility, mobility and stamina levels whie offering a full body workout. Research has also indicated the sport may help to counteract the effects of stress.
Whether you want to brush up on your breast stroke, focus on front crawl or get motivated with your mates; now is the time to make a splash and take the first steps towards a healthier and fitter lifestyle.
