Children get to enjoy a free after school swimming club every Friday
While many schools are having to cut back on swimming lessons because of the hike in costs, pupils at one Greater Manchester secondary have the luxury of their own pool.
Sharing the heating costs with the leisure centre, it doesn't come cheap, but it means the school or families don't have to pay for kids to be transported to another site. The Department for Education says that all schools must provide swimming lessons in Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2 . Few high schools are able to incorporate swimming into their timetables as it's unusual to have a pool on site.
