The leisure centre ‘Kids for a Quid’ initiative will enable under 16s to swim for a reduced rate every day of the summer holidays 👇Better_UK
“Keeping children entertained during the holidays can be challenging and expensive.
“That is particularly true this year when many families are really struggling in the face of an unprecedented cost of living crisis. “We hope this initiative will provide a low-cost, enjoyable activity that everyone can afford while keeping youngsters active and engaged.”In addition to being a fun extra-curricular activity, swimming is also an essential life skill.
