West Lothian swimming teachers have been praised as a nationwide recruitment drive gets underway.
The Learn to Swim framework – a partnership between Scottish Swimming and Scottish Water which is delivered in more than 160 pools across the country – is shining a light on the inspirational teachers and coaches involved in teaching youngsters to swim.
Xcite West Lothian’s hard work was recognised as they won the Learn to Swim Provider of the Year award for 2022.
Euan Lowe, CEO of Scottish Swimming, said: “Being a swimming teacher is an incredibly rewarding career, teaching an essential life skill to others.
“It takes three months to train a swimming teacher and equip them with the skills they need, so we want to get the recruitment absolutely right depending on the needs of each specific area.”
