From the Olympics and Paralympics to community pools like this across the country, swimming is an activity with so many physical, mental and social benefits.

Today's newly announced partnership with The Royal Foundation will help Birtley Community Pool to deliver swimming lessons and lifeguard training for the local community.

An essential life skill that young people in the area can once again learn and develop 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Great to be at the refurbished Birtley Community Pool today, ahead of its reopening.

Incredible effort to raise £400,000 to save it, after closure under council cuts last year.

Always been impressed by the community group that has taken it on and they deserve huge credit.
