Swim for free at half term

YOUNG people will be able to swim for free at Wiltshire Council pools at half term.

Children aged under 16 can enjoy free swimming during all public swimming sessions at their local Wiltshire Council and DC Leisure-managed leisure centres in Wiltshire, including Salisbury's Five Rivers, throughout the school holidays.

This half term swimming will be free from February 9 to 15.

This is good...however if the cost of casual swimming the rest of the time is inhibitive for many. North of the county can keep it accessible so why not Salisbury?

Will they turn the temperature of the water up? I am told it is freezing in there.

"I am told..." implying you havent experienced it for yourself??
I do believe the main pool at salisbury is around 29 degrees C which is the recomended maximum temperature for fitness training and recreational swimming.

I have not been swimming lately as I have lost my mankini. Someone stole it off my washing line when it was drying off.

I was told it was cold by one of my children because his kids were shivering.
