Hi, I'm Ricky, with your last Newsround of the day. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
First, we know a lot of you love to swim, but is there a pool close by | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
that you can use? Well, Rebecca Adlington, Great Britain's four-time | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Olympic medallist, says she is worried about the future of swimming | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
in this country because too many local pools are closing down. She | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
says we may well be missing out on future champions. Nel has this | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
story. She has won four Olympic medals, two | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
gold and two bronze. But now Rebecca Adlington is worried that there | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
won't be young swimmers following her example. Britain's most | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
successful Olympic swimmer for 100 years says she is worried about the | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
future of her sport due to the number of local pools closing down. | :00:50. | :00:50. | |
She says: here, the local council says it is | :00:51. | :01:10. | |
investing in new facilities. But it's not just future swimming champs | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
that Adlington is worried about. Swimming is a sport which can save | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
lives. So how important is swimming to these kids? It is fun, and you | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
get a lot of exercise. I like to come and swim and learn, because if | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
I could endanger I will know to do. It is quite fun. The Government says | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
it's up to local councils to decide how they spend their money. But in | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
many parts of the UK, residents are fighting plans to close community | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
baths. Thanks, Nel. And many of you have | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
been telling us on the Newsround website that your local pool is | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
pretty important. Big movie news now, and James Bond | :01:53. | :02:18. | |
is moving in with Doctor Who. Well, almost! Pinewood, the British | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
company behind the 007 films, are setting up a new studio in the Welsh | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
capital, Cardiff, where the Time Lord is based. Pinewood is taking | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
over a former solar panel factory for Bond's new home. | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
And before we go, there's a saying, "you can't teach an old dog new | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
tricks". But can you teach them how to board? Well, these pet owners | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
certainly think so. They took to the coast in Brazil to take part in the | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Stand Up Dogs championships. But don't worry, only dogs that could | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
show they weren't afraid of the water were allowed to take part. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
That's all from me. Leah's back here at 7:40 tomorrow. | :02:55. | :02:57. |
