Byw'n Iach Glaslyn (Fitness, Swimming & Sports) Porthmadog is excited to promote a fantastic local fitness event! We want to spread the word to all the interested players out there, so they don't miss out on this amazing opportunity.
Let's talk about Free Swimming, a program launched in Wales in 2003. Its main goal is to encourage more young people (16 and under) and individuals over 60 to learn how to swim and embrace regular swimming. This initiative is funded by the Welsh Government, managed by Sport Wales, and delivered by the 22 Local Authorities.
Here's how it works: all seven swimming pools in the area offer free swimming sessions for those 16 and under, which take place during weekends. The Bro Ffestiniog session, however, has a slightly different schedule and is available on Tuesdays. But that's not all! We also have additional free sessions available during the summer holidays.
To take part in these free swimming sessions, you'll need an Annual Byw'n Iach Membership Ticket. Don't worry; it's easy to arrange. Simply contact your local centre, and they'll guide you through the process.
But wait, there's more! Customers over the age of 60 who live in Wales can also enjoy free swimming during specific sessions. Just like the young ones, they need to have an annual membership to access these free sessions.
Byw'n Iach is always looking for ways to benefit the community, which is why we're proud to participate in the national MAX Card scheme. If you have a Max Card and one adult member of your family is a member of Byw'n Iach, you and your family can enjoy free access to our family swimming sessions.
Additionally, we offer free swimming for young carers with a Young Carer ID card and veterans with a DDS card or Defence Privilege Card. We believe in recognising and supporting those who have dedicated their lives to caring for others and serving their country.
The benefits of regular swimming are immense. Not only does it improve fitness levels, but it also contributes to overall well-being. Whether you're looking to get in shape, destress, or have some fun, swimming is the perfect activity for everyone.
If you want to learn more about Byw'n Iach membership prices or purchase an annual membership, don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help you make the most of your fitness journey.
So, mark your calendars and spread the word about this exciting fitness event brought to you by Byw'n Iach Glaslyn (Fitness, Swimming & Sports) Porthmadog. We can't wait to see you there, ready to dive into a healthier, happier lifestyle.
