Free swimming in Medway

For under 16s and over 60s in council run pools. Not the actual River Medway you understand - tho that is free but not wise:D

Very true! I dread to think what you'd catch swimming in there, if you made it out alive that is! :eek:

Thanks for that Is there a certain postcode threshold though? I ask because our town was classed as medway for years but then someone decided we weren't anymore and i was unable to get a concession on the Chatham Dockyard that they had once.

Had a google and found this list

• Black Lion Leisure Centre, Gillingham;
• Strood Sports Centre;
• Splashes Leisure Centre, Rainham;
• Hundred of Hoo swimming pool, Hoo;
• The Strand leisure pool, Gillingham.

Great thought i'd read it as i drove past the Hoo pool. That will be good for my son and his mates.

The pool will need to be run by Medway council. It doesnt matter where YOU live. Or are you saying that your town has a pool and used to be in Medway but now it isnt?

No pool in my town,i was just wondering if it was only the residents of Medway that could benefit but as you say its not,its for everyone really good!

As for the Medway site....yes I agree with Ellie...I have to work with that site too ...it truly is AWFUL !

Can I ask if anybody knows if the children need to be with an adult who is paying ? My teenagers would enjoy this, but its not for me.
