Commenting on the take-up figures for the free swimming initiative, Andrew Harrop, Head of Policy at Age Concern and Help the Aged, said:
'It's great news that increasing numbers of older people have taken the plunge and are now swimming their way towards a healthier lifestyle thanks to the free swimming initiative.
'This scheme has opened up new lanes for those who are put off exercising because they struggle to afford services to keep fit and healthy.
'Swimming is a great social activity that can help older people keep mobile and independent in later life, as well as maintaining their mental well-being.'
Age Concern England and Help the Aged have joined together to form a single charity dedicated to improving the lives of older people.
