Families can take the plunge with the star of Finding Dory at a series of swimming sessions in Hounslow .

Swimmers of all ages and abilities are invited to take part in the interactive hour-long splash-abouts, combining storytelling and activities inspired by the Disney/Pixar movie.

The sessions, supported by the Amateur Swimming Association, will take place at Heston Pools and Fitness this summer, from Friday, July 22, to Sunday, September 4.

They are the brainchild of Disney and Change4Life, who have teamed up to help youngsters get in shape with a little motivation from their favourite animated characters.

Hounslow's Treaty Centre is also hosting free 10 Minute Shake Ups with Disney , featuring short games and activities for children, as part of the summer campaign to get people more active and reduce obesity .

Councillor Corinna Smart, Hounslow Council's leisure chief, said: "There is certainly a lot for children across the borough to do during the summer holidays and these swimming sessions will no doubt prove to be very popular as the family can enjoy these together."
