As the weather now seems to have let us down you may be wondering what to do with the children for the rest of the summer holidays. Thanks to Rushmoor Borough Council and DC Leisure, local swimmers over 60 and children 16 and under can still take advantage of free swimming until September 5, even after the Government’s current scheme ends in July.
Local people who qualify for the scheme can register for £2, cheaper than a single child or senior citizen swimming session, at either Farnborough Leisure Centre or Aldershot Indoor Pools and can then swim for free as often as they like during general swimming sessions.
The Council will offer free swimming to under 8s with every full paying adult from September 5.
Younger swimmers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when they register for the Free Swimming Scheme. If the child is 14 to 16, proof of age is required such as a birth certificate or passport.
