Children eligible for free school meals can enjoy free swimming sessions at Xcel Leisure Centre during the October half-term holiday, from Monday 19 to Sunday 30 October 2026.

Following the success of previous initiatives, Xcel Leisure Centre is offering free swimming sessions for children who are eligible for free school meals. This offer includes swim and family fun sessions.
To enrol, eligible children must provide the original email confirmation of entitlement and proof of eligibility, such as a free school meals letter, to staff at the main reception. A supervising adult must be in the water with all children under 8 years old, and the adult will be required to pay the full price for their session.
Participants will also receive a free pair of goggles, subject to availability while stocks last. Due to potential peak times and maximum capacity, it is advisable to check session availability in advance via the Places Leisure website, app, or by calling the centre on 01932 260300 to avoid disappointment.
This initiative is provided by Xcel Leisure Centre. For further information or questions, individuals are encouraged to contact the centre directly.
