#supportschoolswimming
Today a campaign is being launched to raise awareness of the vital importance of school swimming across the country.
Ensuring children are able to swim is not just about providing health, wellbeing and enjoyment benefits, but ultimately offering them a vital, life-saving skill as well.
Full details here: tinyurl.com/m37y3kjj
Please show your support and share.
Fantastic news! Well done to all involved.
🚨Dundee pools update
Scottish Swimming is delighted to see that Dundee pools will remain open despite proposals in November to close 5 school pools ✅
It’s great to see the support from the local community to keep these pools open – vital assets from a safety, health and communities perspective 💙
This is why we continue to lobby and fight for pools to remain open. The benefits for current and future generations are too great in number to ignore 📈
