Children and teenagers in North Lincolnshire can once again enjoy free swimming and cheaper bus fares throughout the school summer holidays.
Single bus tickets for young people aged five to 19 are capped at £1.50, while adults travelling with them pay no more than £3 per single journey. The fare offer applies to all local services, making it easier to visit attractions such as Normanby Hall Country Park, leisure centres, museums and market towns across the region.
Swimming is also free for under-16s at six local pools: The Pods, Riddings Community Hub, Ancholme Leisure Centre, Axholme North Leisure Centre, Baysgarth Community Hub and Epworth Swimming Pool. The free swims, part of the Summer Daze sessions, must be booked in advance for children aged eight to 16.
Children under eight need to be checked in by an adult at reception, and pool safety rules mean the youngest swimmers must be supervised at all times.
The seasonal scheme, which proved popular last year, is designed to give families affordable ways to spend the summer together while encouraging safe swimming and greater use of public transport.
