10p swims for children in Barrow, Dalton, Kendal & Ulverston during half term

During October half-term,  Westmorland and Furness Council’s leisure centres will offer 10p swims for children.

Young people aged under 16 will be able to take advantage of the special offer at the council’s swimming pools in Appleby, Barrow-in-Furness, Dalton-in-Furness, Kendal, Penrith and Ulverston.

Barrow, Kendal, Penrith and Ulverston leisure centres will allocate 2 hours per day for 10p swims from Monday  October 28 to Friday November 1, 2024. Appleby Leisure Centre will allocate 1 hour and Dalton Leisure Centre will allocate 3 hours. 

Over the weekend of Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 November 2024, 10p swims will be available at Kendal, Penrith and Ulverston leisure centres for 2 hours per day; and at Appleby Leisure Centre for 1 hour per day.

The scheme has received funding from the council’s three Locality Boards for Eden, Furness and South Lakeland. 

Councillor Virginia Taylor, Westmorland and Furness Council’s Cabinet Member for Sustainable Communities and Localities, said: “Supporting active, healthy and happy lives is one of our priorities as a caring council, from the youngest to the oldest of us!

“We hope these 10p swims will encourage our young people to be active over October half-term as well as supporting families with the cost of living crisis.”

Bookings for Appleby, Kendal, Penrith and Ulverston can be made on the Better UK app under Swim for All sessions or payment can be taken at reception.
