Pools offer free swim for children

MORE than 2,000 schoolchildren have been enjoying free dips in Camden swimming pools under the Town Hall’s wave of summer event.
Since mid-July under-16s have been heading to the borough’s pools to swim for free, and thousands more are expected to dive in before the offer runs out at the end of the month.
Swiss Cottage pool in Adelaide Road, and Oasis pool in Endell Street in the West End are open for free swims between 10am and 3pm.
Flick Rea, Camden’s culture chief, championed free swimming as a way of promoting health and fitness in youngsters.
She said: “It’s important that we give our youngsters every opportunity to keep active and healthy over the summer holidays.
“Swimming is just one of hundreds of free and affordable sport and leisure activities from Camden Council this summer.”
