The British Gas Pools 4 Schools initiative has come to Ashington, which will provide a unique opportunity for a thousand children to learn to swim in a revolutionary, temporary swimming pool which will be in place the end of the summer term.

Elizabeth Armstrong, Partnership Development Manager for the Ashington School Sport Partnership (SSP) who have organised and managed the pool sessions said “The arrival of the pool in Ashington has created a real buzz! This is an excellent facility for use by our local schools and the wider community.

The young people who are swimming in curriculum time are loving being in the water, making fantastic progress and coming back in the evenings with their families. We are thrilled with the whole project and hope it will encourage young people to continue to be more active long after the pool has gone.”
