PARKLANDS Leisure Centre is offering a variety of swimming crash courses for children and teenagers during the Easter holidays.

From Friday, March 29 to Friday, April 12, children and teenagers will have the chance to take part in various swimming classes for nervous swimmers to advanced Level 6 swimmers.

Children will also have the chance to try out mini polo, a breaststroke and butterfly workshop, and a starts and turns workshop. All sessions aim to give youngsters the opportunity to develop some of the fundamental skills required for swimming while encouraging them to get involved in the pool's Swim School programme.

Jon Smith, contract manager at Parklands, said: 'We are really looking forward to the Easter holiday this year as we are able to give the local children and teenagers of West Devon and chance to get into swimming or progress their skills further.'
