Celebrating Learn to Swim Month

Our Learn to Swim team recently participated in Learn to Swim Month. During the month, they promoted how important it is to learn to swim. Encouraging people, especially children, to take swimming lessons. 

They celebrated all the swimmers involved in our programmes. As well as the teachers who work behind the scenes to prepare and deliver these essential lessons.

This year also marks the 10th anniversary of Scottish Swimming’s Learn to Swim Framework. To celebrate, Scottish Swimming ran a competition for young swimmers. Asking them to design a special anniversary swimming cap.

Our Learn to Swim team joined in the fun with their own colleague competition. After much deliberation, the winner is Lyndsey McKague, pictured above, with her winning cap design and prizes.
