FREE swimming sessions will be available for children under the age of 16 at two Wyre Forest pools.

The sessions will take place at Wyre Forest Glades Leisure Centre and Stourport Sports Centre throughout the school summer holidays.

Under 16s, who live in Wyre Forest, will be able to use the pools for free between noon and 2pm, Monday to Friday.

The scheme, run by the Worcestershire Health and Well-being Board, is in its 6th year and has so far funded 52,890 swims.

Contract manager Stuart Booton said :”The support from the Health and Well-being group has been amazing they completely understand the aims of the free sessions which include increasing physical activity and learning basic life skills in a safe and welcoming atmosphere.”
