On Armed Forces Day, the Welsh Government has announced the continuation of the armed forces free swimming scheme.
The scheme enables serving members of the armed forces and veterans to swim for free at participating leisure centres and pools, using their defence privilege card.
The armed forces free swimming scheme (AFFS) was first introduced in 2016 and represents the continued commitment to provide the armed forces community with access to services which meet their specific needs and recognise the service they have given to their country.
