As part of North Tyneside’s ‘month of swimming’, a local leisure centre will be inviting residents to test out its facilities.
The Lakeside Centre, in Killingworth, is holding a free open day where swimmers of all ages and abilities can come along and make a splash.
Taking place on Saturday 12 November, the centre will have a number of free activities and sessions, from giant pool inflatables to taster swimming lessons suitable for everyone.
For more information on the schedule for the open day, call (0191) 643 4177 or follow the centre’s social media accounts at www.facebook.com/LakesideNTC or @NTCLeisure on Twitter.
November’s ‘month of swimming’ is part of Everybody Active North East – a collaboration of councils in the region during 2016 to promote being active as a great way to stay healthy.
All twelve North East councils have come together to focus on a different activity each month in their own area. North Tyneside is focusing on swimming during November, involving all pools in the borough.
The highlight of the month is free swimming for all over-60s at every pool throughout November (proof of age required), along with ducklings classes for little ones, family diving sessions, tranquil twilight ladies-only swimming and disability sessions.
Some activities during November must be pre-booked. To find out more, visit www.northtyneside.gov.uk or ask at your local pool.
