Answer 1

that is really cool i have to pay to swim nearly everyday but for free would be awesome

Answer 2

It is yet another spin!!!

Where I live the council have recently shut down the public baths due to lack of funding (we have plenty of private sector swimming pools and gyms) so I wonder where they are proposing to let people swim for free when they cant even afford to keep our public baths open

Answer 3

waste of money they should use that money for something useful

Answer 4

It's great for them but not for me seeing as I am over 16 and no where near 60  =[

Answer 5

omg!

since for me swimming has been my sport since 6, i think its really a good idea!

I mean, swimming is a sport which isn't about how fast u r, its about ur style!

And im really glad that the kids in uk is gonna be taught how to swim FOR FREE!!!

Now isnt that the most awesome thing?!

I mean everyone loves a little free stuff!

Just the problem with this is that, u know, little kids a infamous for pissing in the swimming pool~~~

i heard some pools if u actually p**s in the water, the water around you will become purple!! Excellent eh?!

Answer 6

I think it would be really good and encourage youngsters to be more active.  However, I will believe it when I see it! Theres bound to be conditions, like only certain areas etc. but I will watch with interest.
