@StuLockwood67 @BBCBreakfast @TVNaga01 @OldhamCouncil @CommLeisureUK @_ukactive @OldhamActive @OldhamActiveCom @Sport_England @RebeccaAdlingto Well said Stuart. We've received £2.5k towards our bill which has increased in a similar scale you yours. A serious attempt to ensure survival of swimming would see pools being included in the business energy cap alongside zoos. And we need a swimming strategy too.

@JimBethell @APPG_Swimming @britishswimming And so many more who skip the social prescribing route & directly access swimming for health reasons. Can we develop a swim strategy for health & education so that swimming doesn't become the preserve of the rich?

[Swim England @Swim_England]

Steve Wright is one of thousands who’s health has improved thanks to regular pool time, however two of his local pools have now closed 🏊

He's worried about the impact this could have on him and many others. That’s why we’re saying #DontPutACapOnSwimming

We're building #FutureLidos by bringing together project leaders to pool resources and share knowledge.

This month @Brynaman_Lido took 40 local families to enjoy the water at @LidoPonty — and shared expertise in management, sustainability and inclusivity.

[Buckfastleigh Pool @bflpool]

More than 1000 pools closed so far.

[Future Lidos @future_lidos]

Absolutely this. Swimming is a life-saving, health-preserving, joy-bringing essential, and pools save the public purse billions every year.
