World Champion Launches British Gas Pools 4 Schools in Luton
Luton children are being taught to swim for free in an innovative portable pool which has been built at Maidenhall Primary School on Newark Road.
The facility, which is part of the British Gas Pools 4 Schools initiative, will get the official seal of approval today, by six times swimming world champion, Mark Foster.
British Gas Pools 4 Schools takes a special teaching tank around the country and provides free swimming lessons for children in areas where there is limited access to a pool.
However in this instance, the temporary pool has been installed primarily to help local children build water confidence, before they go back into the mainstream School Swimming programme run by Active Luton.
