FREE Swimming for over 60s

Introduction

The free swimming initiative is an exciting part of a national campaign to promote swimming, general fitness, more active lifestyles and well-being. It is a part of the government's London 2012 Olympic Legacy Plan. In this area, the government's two-year initiative is being promoted by South Gloucestershire Council in partnership with South Gloucestershire Leisure the Charitable Trust who manages the leisure centres on behalf of the Council.

Who Can Access FREE Swimming?

How Do I Get a FREE Swim?
