Have a splash on WC!!

Young people will be able to swim for free during half term as Wiltshire Council's pledge to fund free swimming during school holidays continues.

Children aged up to 16 can enjoy free swimming during all public swimming sessions at their local Wiltshire Council and DC Leisure managed leisure centres, and at Calne Leisure centre and Cricklade Leisure Centre.

As the sessions are very popular, people are advised to arrive in plenty of time.

Those under 16 will be able to gain free access to all public swimming sessions during the Wiltshire Council recognised school holidays, however each leisure centre will retain the right to request proof of age before granting entry.

Please contact your local pool for further details relating to this offer.

Under 16s will be able to access general, fun/features, inflatable and leisure swimming sessions for free. They do not need to sign up to a membership package for the free swimming however it will be the responsibility of the child to prove, if questioned, they are under 16.

The free swim sessions do not include sessions such as aerobics, aqua natal, aqua tots, parent/toddler sessions or children’s swimming lessons.
