Get the whole family active this half term with our family swim sessions
It can be incredibly difficult to think of ways to keep the kids busy over half term, making the week off seem like an eternity. Swimming is an ideal way to keep your family busy and active this half term and it’s an activity that can be enjoyed by everyone regardless of age or ability.
We typically only offer family swim sessions at the weekend, as this is when there is a demand for these types of sessions. However, in light of half term, we have added weekday family swimming sessions to our programme, for you and your family! Brush up on your swimming technique, get active and have fun whilst making a splash this half term at Ravelin Sports Centre.
