Free Swimming:
- July 24 2009 - New figures released today show more than four
million youngsters and senior citizens have taken part in
Government’s £140 million free swimming initiative, a key part of
the London 2012 legacy plans.
- The Department for Culture, Media and Sport still has the
ambition to expand the scheme to every person who wants to swim by
2012 and we hope that those councils who currently haven’t opted in
will soon see the benefits rather than the costs of Free
Swimming.”
Swimming has been outlined by the government as a key activity
because it remains the number one participation sport with close to
12 million people swimming regularly but is also an activity that
those who are inactive would consider more than any other.
