YOUNGSTERS and pensioners in Eastleigh will be diving in and making a splash thanks to the launch of free swimming lessons.

Fleming Park Leisure Centre will be introducing free sessions next month for children up to the age of 16 and adults aged 60 and over.

It is part of a national Government-backed scheme aimed at getting two million more people enjoying a healthier lifestyle within the next two years.

Anyone interested in taking advantage of this offer can register at the centre.
