Free Swimming

The free swimming programme is linked to the nationwide Change4Life campaign, and aims to get people to lead more active, healthy lives in the run up to London 2012. Milton Keynes is one of almost 300 across England to take part in the Government’s free swimming scheme. The programme lasts for two years (until 31st March 2011) and is a central part of plans to ensure a lasting legacy from the London Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012.
