Golden girl Eleanor Simmonds is backing a Walsall Council scheme to offer free swimming sessions for all children aged 16 and under. The free swimming offer is valid from January 3 2009 until March 31 2011. Borough youngsters have already been buoyed by the Walsall-born swimming sensation’s double gold medal triumph in Beijing and the council is keen to keep this enthusiasm alive.
Children simply need to fill out a form at any of the borough’s leisure centres and they can make a splash whenever they like.
Forms are available at:
- Bloxwich Leisure Centre, High Street. Telephone 01922 710295
- Darlaston Leisure Centre, Victoria Road. 0121 526 7473
- Oak Park Leisure Centre, Lichfield Road, Walsall Wood. 01543 452849
- Gala Baths, Tower Street, Walsall. 01922 653150
- Willenhall Leisure Centre, Bath Street. 01922 368663
Or you can visit www.whatsonwalsall.co.uk to download a form to fill in and take to your nearest Walsall Leisure Centre. Existing leisure centre members can start their free swimming straight away. Take a look at the What’s On Walsall website to see when free swim sessions are available.
