Everyone Active – which operates Shipston Leisure Centre, Southam Leisure Centre, Stratford Leisure Centre and Studley Leisure Centre in partnership with Stratford Upon Avon District Council – was named Facility Operator of the Year at theannual ASA Swimtastic Awards, which took place on Saturday 14 November in Leamington Spa.

This is the fifth time that Everyone Active has scooped the accolade. Areas assessed include the progress of children enrolled on swimming lessons at its facilities; the range of ASA products and services delivered and teacher training and development.

Everyone Active is one of the largest providers of swimming lessons in the UK and teaches over 125,000 children and adults to swim every week. There are currently over 4,000 customers enrolled on swimming lessons at Shipston Leisure Centre, Southam Leisure Centre, Stratford Leisure Centre and Studley Leisure Centre.

“We are thrilled to have won this prestigious award for the fifth time," says Jacqui Tilman, Group Swim Development Manager at Everyone Active. “We are committed to improving the health and wellbeing of all our communities and our swimming programme is a huge part of this. The ASA's fourth annual School Swimming Census recently revealed that 48% of children between the ages of 7-11 in the UK are unable to swim 25 metres. We will strive to reduce this figure even more going forward by encouraging as many children - and adults - as possible to learn this important life skill and get active through swimming."

Cllr Mike Brain Technical Services Portfolio at Stratford-on-Avon District Council said: “Swimming is a vital life skill it is great to know that the residents of Stratford District have access to some of the best teaching available through our network of leisure centres."
