Wokingham Borough Council announce free swimming for the over 60s

Over 60s in the Wokingham Borough can take advantage of free swimming and aqua aerobics sessions until the end of March, 2014, just by showing their Wokingham Borough library card.

Free swimming is available for over 60s until Monday March 31, 2014 at Carnival Pool in Wokingham, Loddon Valley Leisure Centre in Lower Earley and Bulmershe Leisure Centre in Woodley during specific sessions.

The scheme is a partnership between Wokingham Borough Council, C-Salt and Woodley Town Council and aims to make sure that more older people in the Wokingham Borough are able to reap the physical and emotional benefits of exercise. There will also be an opportunity after each session to enjoy a free cup of tea or coffee and take time to socialise.

To participate, over 60s will need to be a Wokingham Borough resident and show their own Wokingham Borough library card. If they do not already have one they simply need to visit any Wokingham Borough library, complete an application form and provide ID to show their address.
