ABOVE: Everyone Active works operate 96 pools nationwide.
“Statistics show that one in three children still leaves primary school unable to swim 25 metres unaided. Through its comprehensive school swimming programme, Everyone Active is trying to change this by giving more children access to local swimming pools and high-quality teaching.
“Last year we had 58,000 children participating in school swim lessons at Everyone Active centres each week. We are also working with Becky Adlington Swim Stars (BASS) to promote school swimming to the nation and raise its position on the education agenda.
“Our ultimate objective is to get all children swimming 25 metres and engaging in water safety before they leave primary school.”
FLAGSHIP VENUE

The facility, which is operated in partnership with Plymouth City Council, is an official talent development centre for Great Britain’s diving team and is home to state-of-the-art training facilities.
“It offers opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to get involved in the sport, from beginners through to elite athletes. The Life Centre’s diving pool is international standard, attracting top-tier athletes and making it a perfect venue for national competitions,” says Jacqui.
The centre includes a 50m competition pool and diving pool, which both have movable floors to facilitate teaching, fitness, water polo and general swimming. The diving pool has boards at 3m, 5m, 7.5m and 10m, video playback facility and bubble release technology for reducing diver impact. Competitive divers and other sportspeople also have use of a dry-side training facility with trampolines, springboards, harnesses, crashmats and other specialist equipment.
