Free swimming is back for Sandwell children

Free swimming for children in Sandwell is returning for the half-term break.

Published Oct 23, 2013

Youngsters aged 16 and under will be able to take advantage of the offer from Monday until November 1.

Free swimming was scrapped after government cuts in 2010.

The council offer can be taken up at centres in Haden Hill, Smethwick, Langley and Tipton.
