Following the recent emergency budgetary announcements by Central Government, one of the areas that has been affected is the free swimming initiative. From the 1^st August 2010, Central Government will stop funding free swimming for 60 plus and 16 and unders. As a result of this North West Leicestershire District Council are planning a phasing out of the free swimming initiative firstly for 60 plus followed by 16 and unders. 60 plus free swimming will cease at all pools within the District on 31^st July with customers having to pay £3.30 for a swim from 1^st August or £2.50 if they are leisure link member.

16 and unders free swimming will be continued until 31^st August allowing juniors to continue to swim for free for the majority of their school holidays. From 1^st September, the price of an under 16 swim will be £2.20 and for 16 and over will be £3.30. North West Leicestershire District Council will still be offering free swimming for the following groups:

Under 5's
