Freedom Leisure, one of the UK’s leading charitable and not-for-profit leisure trusts that manages 29 leisure centres across Wales, recently celebrated success at the annual Swim Wales Awards Ceremony. The leisure trust was successful in two categories; the prestigious Learn To Swim Provider of the Year and the Sustainability Initiative Award.
To celebrate these accolades, Freedom Leisure hosted representatives from Swansea Council who were delighted to present Freedom Leisure with their awards and further recognise the achievements of all the staff at the centres in Swansea for their dedication and passion in delivering the award winning learn to swim programme that teaches thousands of adults and children the vital ‘life skill’ of swimming across Swansea.
These awards belong to our centres and our amazing colleagues that work tirelessly to support their communities. We were delighted that Swim Wales was able to present the awards to our colleagues to showcase their hard work and passion that make our centres such valued hubs for swimming and much more.

The award for ‘Sustainability Initiative of the Year’ demonstrates that Freedom Leisure has set a new benchmark for sustainability in the leisure sector through its continued significant actions and investments in energy efficiency and by becoming the first leisure organisation to become an accredited Carbon Literate Organisation.
We congratulate our partners Freedom Leisure on this significant success. Freedom Leisure manages the council's leisure centres, including the LC, and we thank them and their staff for their ongoing work. We've invested millions of pounds to improve these centres over recent years and we're delighted that they're being used day in day out by residents and visitors.
