Default Free swimming on a Monday with bottles of Schweppes Abbey Well
To celebrate the forthcoming London Olympics, Schweppes are running a promotion where you can get a free swim with a bottle cap from their Abbey Well water. They will also donate £1 for each swim claimed to projects aimed at getting Britain 'schwimming'!

Simply take a bottle cap from a bottle of 500ml / 750 ml Abbey Well water to your nearest participating pool to claim your free Monday swim.

For more info, or to find your nearest pool, please look here.

HTH!

Thanks for the post, I went for my first free swim today and it was great - the pool knew all about the promotion and I purchased my water at Waitrose for 54p.

It is for me too.
I'm going swimming tonight & I was all set to rush out at lunchtime & buy Abbey Well but there is no point.

You'd think a city the size of Leeds would have at least one participating pool.

There is a serious lack of Abbey Well, I have yet to see it although I haven't been to massive supermarkets yet.
Anyone else found this?

not all pools participate unfortunately. I have a pool which I can see from here but the nearest one which participates is over 8 miles away.I am almost sure abbey well is from morpeth, northumberland.

I tried this at the local pool which is national pool of wales in swansea. 59 p for the water and free swim on a monday good value. and a donation of 1 pound to charity too for every cap redeemed. not many pools here in wales doing the offer but well done schweppes I say. The abbey well can be hard to find though. I got some in the local pound shop funnily enough two bottles for a quid. Local spa was doing in but none in sainsburys.


I sometimes give myself admirable advice, but am incapable of taking it.

I found the water bottles in Tesco. They only had the bigger bottles, but 75p for a swim is a bargain! (valid until 2010).
Thanks OP!

Thanks there is one in my town participating. Just need to find the water now.
Not at Sainsburys. Anyone know anywhere apart from Waitrose as there isn't one anywhere near where I live.

Ask them to check the website, because it states valid until 2/2/10.
