TENBURY Swimming Pool – operated by Freedom Leisure on behalf of Tenbury Community Pool Ltd – is inviting local schools to sign up and join in with the biggest School Swim.

The School Swimathon programme has been developed by the Swimathon Foundation and the ASA.

This national event is aimed at school children encouraging them to improve their technique and confidence in the water, culminating in a challenge to swim further than ever before.

Any schools that wish to participate will be able to use their national curriculum weekly swim lessons throughout the 2016 Spring Term to help improve pupils’ swimming ability.

This will build up to a final session during the week of Swimathon 2016, ending on Friday, April 29, where pupils will be challenged to swim their furthest ever.

The School Swimathon Challenge is open to all school children, both primary and secondary, who are receiving school swimming lessons at Tenbury Swimming Pool. Teachers must register their class and provide details of all participating children in order for them to be part of School Swimathon 2016.

For further information on the School Swimathon and to register visit www.freedom-leisure.co.uk or www.schoolswimathon.org. Alternatively call Tenbury Swimming Pool on 01584 810448 and speak with a member of the team.
