Press Statement - Swim Active Sessions
Released: 3 January 2007
Councillor John Reynolds, Wolverhampton City Council cabinet member for leisure and culture, said:
“As part of a national scheme to encourage people to swim, the council has targeted a promotion at people from ethnic minorities, who, from our research, do not participate as actively in swimming as other members of the community.
“We similarly target other groups who are under-using the service, for example older people and women. Nonetheless, we must stress that we do not turn away anyone from this or other swimming promotion schemes on the basis of ethnicity.”
