Free Swimming: An Evaluation of the Welsh Assembly Government’s Initiative
Abstract
Free swimming in Wales is a Welsh Assembly
Government initiative comprising two separate, but
related schemes. Free entitlement has been offered, on
a pilot basis, since the summer of 2003 to those aged
16 and under during school holidays. A second pilot
scheme has operated since November 2004, offering
free swimming to the 60+ age group outside the school
holidays.
The Free Swimming Initiative (FSI) in Wales has been
evaluated since November 2004. The evaluation has
been led by a team of researchers from Cardiff School
of Sport, UWIC and overseen by the Free Swimming
Evaluation Steering Group, chaired by the Sports Council
for Wales. In addition to this final report, the evaluation
team has produced five interim reports and a summary
report.
