Our pools are where...

🏊 children learn to swim
💙 friends and families bond
💦 people of all ages look after their physical and mental health, reducing pressures on the NHS

That’s why we’re saying #DontPutACapOnSwimming!

[Ashton Swimming club @AshtonSC]

@Tivyswimming We are still very much hoping the council and Active Tameside will change their minds🙏🏼

"They’ve ripped the heart out of the community really" 💔

@AshtonSC are one of a number of clubs being impacted by the closure of their local pool.

Our latest #ValueOfSwimming report discusses the value of aquatic clubs. That’s why we’re saying #DontPutACapOnSwimming!

£63m is NOT ENOUGH money to fund all of the closing/closed centres which have a swimming pool!! 😡

The Government's new strategy places significant importance on tackling inequalities, which ties in well with #UnitingTheMovement.

Here's its impact in numbers 👇📊

@Sport_England Our community club is at a loss due to the closure of our swimming pool this week. There is absolutely no way that the nation can become more active when we are running out of accessible facilities for communities to visit.

[Ashton Swimming club @AshtonSC]

Sport and physical activity cannot be accessible when leisure facilities, like our own, are being forced to permanently close☹️

[Sport England @Sport_England]

The Government’s new Sport and Physical Activity Strategy will help the country take strides towards being a healthier, more active nation, uphold integrity in sport and ensure we’re moving towards a more financially and environmentally-sustainable sport sector.

Following its publication, our CEO @tphollingsworth has issued the following statement. Read in full: https://t.co/0TSRMUNGsv

@active_tameside So @AngelaRayner, you have one last chance to visit us. We train from 7:30pm. We want you to help us here in St Peter’s Ward. We want the support our local MP should be giving us. Come down to see us on our final night.

[Ashton Swimming club @AshtonSC]

Dear @AngelaRayner. Thursday 31st August is the final night that our swimming club can use it’s home facilities, before we are forced to move to another town in Tameside, due to the closure of Active Ashton on the 3rd Sept.

[Ashton Swimming club @AshtonSC]

@active_tameside The support you have shown to prevent the closure has been non-existent. We do not feel heard, or represented by you. You have ignored our pleas and cries for help to prevent this closure, when we have needed you most.
