East Ayrshire swimming pools will be offering free sessions for kids during the Easter holidays.

The various centres will help to ease the burden for some families during the school break, by offering sessions at no charge.

As part of an initiative with the SHOUT discount card, youngsters will be able to access various free sessions from Monday, April 3 until Sunday, April 16.

The SHOUT discount card is for children from birth to 11 years old living, or attending primary school, in East Ayrshire.

You can apply for the card on the East Ayrshire Council website.
