Children and families in North Lincolnshire can once again enjoy free swimming throughout the school summer holidays as the council’s Summer Daze programme returns.
The sessions, open to anyone aged 16 and under, run until early September across leisure centres in Barton-upon-Humber, Crowle, Scunthorpe’s The Pods and Riddings pools, Epworth Swimming Pool and the small pool at Ancholme Leisure Centre.
Young swimmers aged between eight and 16 need to book online in advance, while younger children can be registered on arrival. Family sessions are also part of the programme, giving the opportunity for parents and children to swim together free of charge.
More than 6,100 free swims took place last year as part of the initiative, which aims to give children a safe, healthy and low-cost way to spend their summer holidays while encouraging an active lifestyle.
By offering supervised sessions at local leisure centres, the programme provides a safe alternative to swimming in open water and helps support families looking for affordable activities over the summer.
