Learn to Swim

More than 105,000 kids across Scotland are involved in Scottish Swimming’s National Learn to Swim Framework

We are delighted to support a new generation of children become safer, happier, and healthier through the delivery of the Learn to Swim lessons and our partnership with Scottish Swimming.

The Learn to Swim programme has been developed to help children of all ages and abilities to become confident, safer and competent swimmers and encourages children into swimming pools and to pick up a key life skill at an early age.

The unique partnership between Scottish Water and Scottish Swimming has provided swimming lessons to over 105,000 children over the first four years, and aims to reach another 100,000 children by 2025 with an estimated 30,000 school pupils also being offered swim lessons over the same period.

Scotland is a nation of rivers, reservoirs, coastal waters and lochs – and being able to enjoy these environments safely is important.

The Learn to Swim programme - which has Scotland’s swimming superstars, Olympic medallist Duncan Scott and Paralympic medallist Toni Shaw as its Ambassadors - is being delivered across Scotland by 36 Leisure Trusts and Aquatic Providers in more than 160 pools.

Everyone can learn to swim - accessibility is also a vital element in the programme and the lessons give youngsters an opportunity to learn in a fun environment from pre-school age.
