Keeping children active this summer
A fun-packed line-up of activities is on offer at West Oxfordshire District Council�s leisure centres to help keep youngsters active during the summer holidays. Under-16s can swim for just �1 during selected sessions at Carterton, Chipping Norton and Witney�s Windrush Leisure Centres. In addition to the discounted swimming, various sessions are available including: � �Active Zone�, a holiday playscheme for 5-11 year olds at The Windrush, offering activities such as roller-skating, games, bouncy castle and face-painting. � Crash courses in swimming, trampolining, gymnastics and much more. � Racquet sports for just �1 for any age, Monday-Friday, at Chipping Norton Leisure Centre. The holiday activities run until the end of the school holidays and have been organised by the Council�s leisure contractor, Nexus Community, which manages leisure facilities in West Oxfordshire. Cllr Richard Langridge, Cabinet Member for Local Economy and Communities, said: �The leisure centres have lots of things going on to keep children and young people active during the summer break at very reasonable costs. There�s also the opportunity for them to try new things and make new friends, and we hope people take advantage of these great local facilities.� For warmer days during the holidays, Woodstock Pool offers open-air swimming as well as a large grass area for playing and picnicking as well as a caf�. There is also an independently-run Lido at Chipping Norton.
