Yet another crackpot government initiative that skirts round the real problem.

We pensioners don’t want free this and free that, but only for those who use the freebie. An adequate pension is what is needed so that we can pay our way as WE CHOOSE.

How many pensioners go swimming or will go if it is free? Towards the end of my working career I was a lifeguard/attendant at Shadsworth Leisure Centre and swimming pensioners were few and far between.

And who will pay for this free swimming? There will be government grants. Whose money will that be?
