Swim England has stressed that any new National Plan for Sport and Recreation must include providing the swimming pools the country needs as a priority.
The recognised national governing body has submitted evidence to a House of Lords inquiry investigating the effectiveness of current sport and recreation policies and initiatives.
Made up of members of the House of Lords from across political parties, the influential committee has been appointed to consider the case for a National Plan for Sport and Recreation.
In its submission, Swim England raised the importance of the Government investing enough money to ensure the country had enough swimming pools to support swimming, diving, water polo and artistic swimming clubs to have access to the water.
