Children can attend weekday leisure swims from 9.15am to 11.15am and 1.15pm to 3pm.

Once a gym induction has been completed, those aged 12 and over can use the gym at certain times during weekdays.

Memberships can be purchased from Jubilee2’s reception on a first come, first served basis from Monday, 14 July. More information is available here.

Cllr. Craig Skelding, Cabinet member for Leisure, Culture and Heritage, said: “One of the council’s priorities is to create healthy, active and safe communities so we’re delighted to provide local children with the opportunity to enjoy unlimited use of the swimming pool and gym at Jubilee2, during the summer holidays, for a minimal cost thanks to funding from the Staffordshire Commissioner.

“It’s very easy for young people to get bored during the long school break so we want to
encourage them to fill their spare time with fun, healthy and positive activities. The heavily
reduced cost of the membership is amazing value and means they can swim and exercise
to their heart’s content for just £2.40 per week, alongside all the other great things
happening as part of Space 2025.”

Space was originally a popular activities scheme led by Staffordshire Police during the
1980s and 90s aimed at engaging young people. The new version – co-ordinated by the
Staffordshire Commissioner – has similar objectives. Fun activities are planned and
delivered by a wider collaboration of public, voluntary and private sector organisations.
