⚠️ It’s going to be HOT over the next few days ☀️🥵

We know a dip sounds tempting, but open water can be unpredictable. Stay safe, skip the rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and cool off in one of our pools instead 🏊‍♀️💙

You said “this summer’s different…” 👀
…but you still haven’t got in the water 😅

Say less, this is your soft launch 🌊

💧 FREE swim session (16–24 years)
💧 Not lessons. No stress. Just vibes
💧 Build confidence your way
💧 Or just float, chill and ease yourself in

This is giving:

☀️ pre-holiday glow up
🌴 poolside confidence
🎶 main character energy

No one’s watching. Everyone’s just figuring it out too.
Free swim. Swim Coach available if you want it. Or just come get used to the water again 💧

✨ Pull up.
✨ Get comfy.
✨ Own the water before the holiday hits.
👉 Spots are free, don’t miss your moment.

Part of Aspire Ignite, Wakefield Council’s mission to get more 16–24 year olds active, confident, and moving across the district 💥🔥
