Free swimming sessions for people aged under 16 and over 60 in East Cambridgeshire are to end.

From August, normal charges will apply at the Paradise Pool in Ely and Bottisham Swimming Pool.

The Government announced it was to stop funding this activity due to the current financial situation and research which they claimed showed the majority of free swimmers were swimming already and would have paid to swim anyway.
