Free swimming for Sandwell children during school summer holidays
29 July 2024
Sandwell’s children can once again make a splash
for free at leisure centres now schools are out for summer.
With the summer holidays in full swing, children who live in Sandwell can enjoy free swimming sessions, which are also available to Sandwell residents who are over 60 throughout the year, at several leisure centres across Sandwell, including the new state-of-the-art Sandwell Aquatics Centre in Smethwick.
People can take up free swimming sessions if they are:
- Sandwell children aged 18 and under during school holidays during designated free-swimming sessions – check Sandwell Leisure Trust (SLT) and Places Leisure websites for further details.
- Sandwell residents aged 60 and over before 1pm every day.
Councillor Suzanne Hartwell, Sandwell Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Community, said: “Swimming is a vital skill for all to learn, as well as being a fun and healthy activity for all ages.
“With the long school summer holiday under way and free swimming sessions on offer, this is a great opportunity to swim in safe waters, including our Olympic-sized pool at the fantastic new Sandwell Aquatics Centre.”
SLT leisure centres are hosting designated free swimming sessions specifically advertised for the pools at Sandwell Aquatics Centre, Tipton Leisure Centre and Wednesbury Leisure Centre. Visit Sandwell Leisure Trust website
