Councillor Paul Bradley, deputy leader at Dudley Council, said:
“We all know the importance of encouraging children to undertake sport and physical activity and we are delighted to be able to offer a range of activities in leisure centres this half term.
“We are especially proud of our SEN sessions, for children with disabilities and special educational needs and their families, in our swimming pool and soft play areas.
“Our free swimming offer continues to be very popular but we are reminding people that children must be accompanied by an adult and that sessions can get very busy with spaces offered on a first come first served basis.”
All sessions and activities are subject to availability and terms and conditions apply, with a responsible adult expected to accompany children on many activities.
