The line graphs show the average monthly amount that parents in Britain spent on their
children
’s sporting activities and the number of British
children
 who took part in three different sports from 2008 to 2014.
It is clear that
 parents spent more money each year on their
children
’s
participation
 in sports over the six-year period. In terms of the number of
children
 taking part, football was significantly more popular than athletics and swimming. In 2008, British parents spent an average of around £20 per month on their
children
’s sporting activities. Parents’ spending on
children
’s sports increased gradually over the following six years, and by 2014 the average monthly amount had risen to just over £30. Looking at
participation
 numbers, in 2008 approximately 8
million
 British
children
 played football,
while
 only 2
million
children
 were enrolled in swimming clubs and less than 1
million
 practised athletics. The figures for football
participation
 remained relatively stable over the following 6 years.
By contrast
,
participation
 in swimming almost doubled, to nearly 4
million
children
, and there was a nearly fivefold increase in the number of
children
 doing athletics.
