FREE Swimming - NOT, whats your view?
7 Answers
Hi, my local council is going to introduce free swimming for under 16s and over 60s. However in order to 'qualify' children and older people have to join and recieve a membership card. All a bit gate keeperish but whats really irritating me is that if the pool is half full with non-payers the pool will refuse entry to anymore non-payers. Whats your view on this policy?

Not a government directive - it is a scheme that local authorities can opt into.
Conditions imposed upon those local authorites accepted to the Free Swimming Programme include regular data returns on the number of free swims. The government supports the use of free membership cards as a means to administer the scheme.
The scheme is also not intended to introduce significant restrictions on fee-paying public swimming. Those swimmers ineligible to participate in the scheme should not be expected to see a reduction in allocated pool space as was available to them prior to the introduction of the Free Swimming Programme.
