DISABLED children and their carers are being encouraged to join a swimming group at Hewell Road pool.

The Otters Sports and Swimming Club holds sessions for disabled adults, as well as one for disabled youngsters and their families or carers.

Chairman Rod Spooner said the adult group was popular, especially in the summer, but more children and their families or carers were being encouraged to join the other session.

Children's sessions run from 7-7.30pm on Tuesday nights and adult sessions are from 7.30-8.15pm. For more details, call Mr Spooner on 544466.
