A COUNCIL is looking to recruit more swimming teachers at its leisure centres.

Sedgefield Borough Council has launched swimming courses at its leisure centres in Newton Aycliffe, Spennymoor and Fishburn.

Although an initial enrolment has already taken place, there is still a limited amount of places left on the courses, which run for a further nine weeks.

The lessons take place almost every day and an appeal is being made for more teachers.

Anyone wishing to learn to swim or is qualified to teach at any level is asked to call Sue Rogerson on (01388) 815700.
