Children will be allowed to swim for free after school at the National Sports Centre this winter to help families with the cost of living.
The five-month scheme will get underway on Monday 31 October and means that school children will not be charged to swim on weekdays, between 4.30pm and 7pm.
During this time children will have full access to the leisure pool and other pools when planned classes or lessons permit.
It will also be free for one parent or guardian to accompany a primary school child to encourage participation, and as usual children aged eight or over can swim unaccompanied.
