A new swimming school is opening its doors to youngsters and adults alike, and you can win a free course of lessons.

Local resident Lesley Green, a former Sir John Cass pupil and qualified swimming instructor with 22 years experience, will be heading the Love to Swim club, starting after the February half-term.

Lessons will take place at Sir John Cass Foundation and Red coats school and Lesley is excited about spreading her passion for the sport.

“I love helping people to overcome their fears and learn a skill that will last a lifetime,” she said, adding that Tower Hamlets still has one of the lowest swimming participation rates in London.

“Swimming will not only give you or your child greater confidence in the water but regular swimming will improve health and fitness levels.”

Love To Swim will be Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) registered and will be staffed by qualified instructors.

A six-week course start on February 28 costs £24 for children and £30 for adults. There will also be toddler groups and women-only classes.

If you are interested in joining call 0845 6769192 or email enquiries@lovetoswim.co.uk. To win one of eight free places on the course enter the competition at www.lovetoswim.co.uk.
