Make a splash at our leisure centres this summer
We've launched a new Summer Splash programme to ensure that no child in Richmond upon Thames is priced out of keeping happy and active through swimming. Free crash courses will be available to children across school years 5, 6 and 7 who have not attained the KS2 requirement to swim 25m confidently and perform safe self-rescue. General swim sessions will also be made available to any child under 16 at a discounted rate of just £1. Hear more about the programme from Cllr Alan Juriansz.
