A sign of the times.
It has been announced that Government funding for free swimming has been withdrawn from July 31. As a result, the Council has decided that that free swimming for Haringey residents who are 60 and over and 16 and under is to end in the autumn.
From September, Haringey residents who are 65 and over will continue to be able to swim for free from Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm if they have registered through the Active Card Scheme.
Children under three will also swim free of charge.
Finally under the Haringey school swimming programme children aged 9,10 and 11 who swim 50m front crawl and 50m back crawl will receive a book of swimming tickets for up to 50 free swims.
No new registrations for free swimming will be processed after August 6.
