We now have 82 swimming pools and clubs taking part in the Learn to Swim scheme. Indeed, the number of pools taking part has nearly trebled since the progamme began in 1992.
Today, up to 38,000 children a year have the opportunity to take the plunge at leisure centres from Sittingbourne to Sandown, private pools from Andover to Ashford and in school and hospital pools from Canterbury to Chichester.
