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.
