Kids Swim Free in February Half Term
Take the plunge with the Kids Swim Free scheme this February Half Term.
Free swimming will be available to Hackney under-16s from Monday 13 to Sunday 19 February at GLL leisure centres, Britannia Health and Fitness Centre and the Kings Hall Leisure Centre.
The scheme is funded by Hackney Council and the Primary Care Trust (PCT). It allows all under-16s the opportunity to access swimming facilities at no cost throughout the whole of February Half Term school holidays.
Cabinet member for leisure services, Cllr Nargis Khan, says: “Swimming is a great way for young people to keep active and have fun during the holidays. That it is free makes it all the more accessible to parents and families.”
From Monday 13 to Friday 17 February under-16s can also take advantage of free swimming lessons, funded by the PCT. The lessons are targeted at non-swimmers and provide a crash course in learning to swim.
