Youngsters in West Lothian are being urged to follow in the footsteps of Scotland’s recent Commonwealth and Olympic Games medal winning heroes and celebrate learning to swim.
With September marking Learn to Swim Month, local authorities, leisure trusts and aquatic providers across Scotland have been rolling out a month-long celebration of swimming, which will see hundreds of youngsters take part in swimming lessons every week.
The Learn to Swim month is also celebrating the important role of swimming teachers, with those interested in long-term or shorter-term positions encouraged to get in touch to find out more about becoming a swimming teacher by contacting their local Leisure Trust or aquatic provider.
