Children swim for a quid

We have cut the price of swimming for under 16s to only £1 during the term time, from Monday to Saturday (programme permitting).
Under 17s living in Newham can swim for free during every school holiday at any of the council's four leisure centres. All you need is a Newham Gold Card and 20p for a locker.

If you're a weak or non-swimmer then the "Swim Safely" rules apply. This means weak or non-swimmers must be accompanied in the water by a competent swimming adult - who should not be responsible for more than two weak or non-swimmers at any one time.

Apply for a Newham Gold Card online or call Healthy Living and Sport on 020 8430 2484.

During the school term, children under 16 can swim for just £1 per session.


Please contact your local leisure centre for more details.
