Families can now attend free swimming sessions at weekends at any pool in Lewisham.

From this week,  family swims will be free for Lewisham Library Card holders.  Families from the borough can choose from Bridge Leisure Centre, Wavelengths Leisure Centre, Downham Health and Leisure Centre, Ladywell Leisure Centre.

Mayor of Lewisham Sir Steve Bullock said: “Now that summer is here it’s a great time to take advantage of this free family swim offer.”

“Lewisham is investing in expanding and improving swimming pools within the borough. So, I hope everyone will make the most of our pools and benefit from the free swim offers that are available.”

Families wanting to swim for free must consist of at least one child (aged 16 or under) and no more than two adults. Each Lewisham swimming pool is offering free swim sessions at different times at the weekends.

Those who are 60 or over, or 16 or under,  can already swim for free in Lewisham during the weekdays and weekends at designated times.
