Splash into action this Bracknell May half term

It's time to dive into action and make the most of May half term.

Bracknell Leisure Centre is running a host of swimming courses throughout the week to keep the kids entertained. The centre has three pools and lots of courses for keen swimmers to enjoy.

Tots to teens can join a range of swimming classes aimed at all abilities. The learner pool offers classes for four-to-seven-year-olds who are taking their first dip. Over 16s who want to train to save lives can join the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) course in the competition pool.

Anyone wishing to keep fit is welcome to make the most of the public swim and early bird sessions.

Bracknell Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Leisure and Corporate Services, said: "Swimming is a really important skill so it is good to encourage young people to take it up as a hobby from a young age.

"The well being of our residents is always upper most in our minds and swimming is an excellent form of non-stress exercise for the whole body so we encourage as many people as possible to take advantage of the great swimming pools we have in Bracknell Forest."
