All aboard the swim bus

It is all aboard the swim bus for a free ride to the Wyre Forest Glades pool.  The service runs every Saturday and is for adults and children who live in Oldington and Foley Park, Broadwaters, Greenhill, Comberton or the Horsefair.

Pick ups start at 10.35am and passengers have a 2 hours session at the leisure centre before the bus returns. The bus is for pool users only. 

Children under eight years old must be accompanied by an adult both on the bus and in the pool.

Councillor Marcus Hart, Wyre Forest District Council's Cabinet Member for Community and Partnership Services said.

"The 'Swim Bus' is a fantastic idea. Wyre Forest Glades working in partnership with the Council has been able to offer people in these areas a free ride to the pool. The Glades and the Council's Sport Development Team are working to get more people, more active, more often, and this scheme is part of that. The Swim Bus started in June 2009 and we've already had around 200 people benefit. So be quick to grab your seat on the bus before spaces run out"
