Blog launched

Campaign blog for the campaign free swimming in Newcastle on one day on Sunday 24 August - on the day London becomes the next Olympic Host City. Sign our petition to demand not only free entry but extended opening hours and a big celebration of the 2012 Olympics, free swimming for all by 2012, the new changes for over 60's free swimming in the coming year and arts and cultural events linked to the Olympics.

Andy Burnham & Gordon Brown launch free swimming for all

Andy Burnham today said

"Offering free swimming is just the kind of imaginative action required to make us a more active nation by 2012. We have chosen swimming, because its appeal is universal. It is the perfect antidote to the couch-potato culture."

There will be free swimming for over 60's in the next year, and then free swimming for all by 2012 . What a great idea!!!
