01604 366976Free Swimming Initiative Launched
The Government today launched its £140 million free swimming initiative offering free swimming to people aged 60 and over and those aged 16 and under.
The initiative, announced last June, is a key part of the Government’s plans to deliver a lasting legacy from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
As part of the initiative, a £50 million capital fund is being made available to councils in 2009/10 and 2010/11 to modernise existing pools and help build new facilities. This fund is being administered by Sport England, and grants to 52 projects, totalling £19.2 million, have been announced today.
