Please help us spread the word about free family swimming sessions taking place throughout August at: Braintree Swimming & Fitness, Halstead Leisure Centre and Witham Leisure Centre
Delivered by Freedom Leisure and Braintree District Council, these free sessions aim to help families stay active over the school holidays while easing some of the financial pressures many households face.
Alongside the free swimming, there will also be a range of low-cost summer activities available at selected centres, including:
Inflatables
Fun & floats sessions
£1 badminton
£1 table tennis
£1 squash
£1 track sessions
Residents should check session times and availability with their local leisure centre before attending.
For more information go to their website - www.freedom-leisure.co.uk
Residents can also download the app where all free swimming sessions will be marked as "Free"
Freedom Leisure is celebrating after being named a finalist in three categories at the prestigious UK Active Awards 2026.
