OLDER people who would like to learn to swim or improve their confidence in water can sign up to a new course.
Age UK Darlington has accessed funding from Sport England to provide swimming lessons for people aged over 50.
The funding means that the six-week course will cost £2.50 per person.
The lessons are suitable for people who cannot swim, or who feel they could improve their stroke and become stronger swimmers.
Classes will be held on Thursday mornings in a shallow pool, with an instructor in the water and at the side of the pool.
For more information or to sign up, call Gill on 01325-362832.
