Saturday
Free Drop in Swim with Inflatables
It’s the third time this month, and a great time to kick off summer fun with a swim! Visit Emerald Hills Leisure Centre and swim for free on Saturday for a fun, drop-in session with the inflatables in the pool. Keep in mind that this inflatable swim session is best suited to younger kids, as it’s a smaller scale inflatable, but there are plenty of other floatation devices to keep older kids entertained in the lap pool! There is no cost for the swim, and no registration is necessary.
