Youngsters are being urged to take the plunge and dive in for free swimming at Halesowen Leisure Centre.
Free swimming will be offered to the under 16s at Dudley Council leisure centres across the borough for two years, starting from April 1 next year.
The council secured a 151,640 annual grant from the Governments free-swimming programme for the 2009 to 2010 and 2010 to 2011 financial years.
Earlier this month the council announced plans for free swimming for the over 60s under the same funding scheme.
Councillor Karen Shakespeare, Dudley Council's cabinet member for environment and culture, said: I am delighted we have been able to secure this money to help boost the health and fitness of young people across the borough.'
In 2008/09 the council will receive a reward grant of 69,458 from the Government for participating in the free swimming programme, which will be used for feasibility and preparation work for the new two-year-programme.

Prime Minister Han Seung-soo Tuesday instructed all government agencies and public firms to freeze wages, cut spending and refrain from taking overseas trips to share the burden with the private sector'' from the deepening economic woes.
He also instructed financial regulators to push for restructuring of the domestic financial industry in return for payment guarantees totaling $100 billion for banks' foreign currency loans.
The public sector should change first to overcome the current economic hardships facing the country,'' Han said at a Cabinet meeting. The government has already frozen wages and the quota of employees at all ministries. All public firms and government agencies should also refrain from expanding their organizations in an effort to share pains with the public.''
Han said banks, which will receive payment guarantees for their foreign currency loans, will also face belt-tightening measures.
On Oct. 19, the government said it will guarantee the payment of all foreign currency loans raised by Korean lenders abroad until June next year for a period of three years, which may total $100 billion. It also plans to extend an additional $30 billion to banks and small and mid-sized exporters while pouring $770 million in taxpayers' money into the state-owned Industrial Bank of Korea to support cash-strapped small businesses.
