How many pensioners go swimming or will go if it is free? Towards the end of my working career I was a lifeguard/attendant at Shadsworth Leisure Centre and swimming pensioners were few and far between.

And who will pay for this free swimming? There will be government grants. Whose money will that be?
thats the general idea jim, it won't cost owt.
