Re: Free Swimming For Pensioners.

We had to go swimming at school but i loved it ,
i took 12 primary certificates then my Bronze ASA,Silver ASA,and Gold ASA there was only two of us that wanted to take this even further and we got our intermediate RLSS and Bronze medallion RLSS medals we wanted to take the Bronze cross RLSS but the school would not pay for us to go any further as they said "swimming was not a sport"

There will be thousands like me who do not want to go swimming, so what do we get out of the deal? There will be thousands who cannot even swim and many older folk cannot. They never had the opportunity to learn.
that's your choice but you could go if you wanted and its a good opportunity for those that cant swim to learn.
