 Kids swim for free this August in Elmbridge
Thanks to Elmbridge Xcel Leisure Centre and The Hurst Pool, children who are eligible for free school meals can enjoy free swimming sessions during August. Participants will also receive a pair of goggles for free on a first come first served basis, until stocks last.
All children under 8 years old must have a supervising adult in the water and therefore the adult will need to make full price payment.
Please see our website for terms and conditions of this offer.
