Splash & Smile
Splash and Smile is a new
session on Saturday mornings from 10 to 11am in which children with
disabilities and their families are able to swim for just
£1 (carers are free) and use a range of
equipment, including floating toys, rafts, flotation stations and
buoyancy jackets.
This session has proved very popular since it
commenced in January 2010 after a successful funding bid to
the Cumbria Community Foundation’s ‘Together we Can’ fund and
Cumbria Youth Alliance.
Keswick Leisure Pool is an accessible facility
with disabled shower, toilet and changing facilities. Large family
changing cubicles are also available. There is a pool access
chair for those requiring assistance when entering the water.
For further details about the session please
contact Keswick Leisure Pool on 017687 72760.
