New offer for men aged 35 and over and adults with children
Free swimming in Be Well pools across Tower Hamlets is expanding!
For the first time, men aged 35 and over can join our free swim sessions, designed to boost physical and mental wellbeing.
We’re also launching our new parent and child free swim offer, where any adult resident can bring up to two children for free during designated family swim times, giving families the chance to enjoy time together, build confidence in the water, and introduce little ones to swimming – all at no cost.
Who can take part?
Residents of Tower Hamlets can now access:
Free swim sessions for men aged 35 and over
Free parent and child swim sessions, any adult resident can bring up to two children for free
Ongoing free swimming for women and girls aged 16
Why it matters?
Swimming is one of the most accessible forms of physical activity: gentle on joints, good for mental health, and great for building confidence at any age.Â
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be running new inflatable swim sessions over the summer holidays at Tiller Leisure Centre. Our giant inflatable sits on top of the swimming pool and acts as a fun obstacle course complete with a slide at the end! A fun activity for the kids over the summer break.
Please note children must pass a quick swim test at the beginning of each session. This will involve a continuous 25 metre swim without stopping. Children not able to pass this test will need to be accompanied by a competent swimmer aged 16 years or older and will be restricted to the shallow end only. The accompanying adult must provide active supervision throughout the session.
Please note children must complete the swim test each time they attend the session, regardless of previous attendance.
Times: • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays: 14:00–15:00 • Fridays: 14:00–15:00 and 15:00-16:00
Cost £5 per child, per session. £7.90 for adults.
Children must be aged between 8 and 13 years old to take part.
