FAMILIES across the borough are being urged to reap the health and fitness benefits of swimming.

Bromley Mytime’s Swimming Academy has more than 6,000 members and is encouraging people of all ages and abilities from babies to nervous adults to sign up for lessons.

The swimming development officer for Bromley Mytime, Maureen Cunningham, said: “Swimming is a fantastic activity for health and fitness benefits.

“It really is never too late to learn to swim, or spend some time improving your technique before the summer holidays.”

Prices start from under £5 for a 30-minute lesson.
