Anyone aged under 16 is eligible for the sessions, and people are advised to book early through the Fusion website here to ensure they can secure a place.
Cllr Chinelo Anyanwu, Enfield Council’s Cabinet Member for Public Spaces, Culture & Local Economy, said: “We are funding free swimming for schoolchildren in the borough so they have they have the opportunity to take part in an enjoyable activity during the summer holidays.
“Swimming is a fantastic way to socialise, make friends and to exercise at the same time. I hope as many children as possible will take up this fabulous opportunity and book their free session.”
