A pilot programme of free summer holiday swimming at the Vikingar! in Largs for all children up to 18 years old is being launched at a meeting of NAC's cabinet this week.

The pilot scheme would see the council work in partnership with KA Leisure to deliver a free swimming programme for under 18s from 29 June - 18 August during the summer holidays.

The programme would complement the current range of swimming programmes taking place across the area and forms part of the council's commitment to increasing opportunities for participation in physical activity for all young people in North Ayrshire, to help improve their overall health and wellbeing.
