In the slipstream of ITV's decision to switch off all seven of its channels for an hour to encourage people (here illustrated by water babes clip) to get off their sofas and get fit following Team GB's Olympics success, Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust is offering complementary swimming at five community pools.

Michael Hart, chief executive of Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust, said: “We are all so proud of the success of Team GB in this year’s Olympic Games in Rio and we want to show our support for the I Am Team GB campaign by encouraging people to get active this weekend.

“We are proud to be able to take part in this Bank Holiday weekend event which is part of the celebrations to welcome home Team GB from the Rio Olympics and we want to show our Olympians that we are supporting them.

“This is a great opportunity for people who don’t regularly swim to take to one of our pools for free and be part of Team GB.”
