SWIMMING
The swimming programme run by East Renfrewshire Council is proving a real splash hit – and it’s about to get even better.
The Learn to Swim programme has already taught thousands of people to swim in the area’s four pools.
Now, ahead of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the council’s swimming development team will be working even harder to get children and adults into the water.
Sports
services has been awarded £5,000 from sportscotland which will be used to develop a school swimming programme. This will be on top of the dozens of classes already provided for all ages across East Ren at Eastwood High, Eastwood Park, Barrhead and Neilston. And with Glasgow 2014 on the way and the swimming events likely to be a big draw, the Learn to Swim programme is helping deliver a lasting legacy for sport locally.
There are now extensive programmes at all four pools, which are now fully open for
business. Two, Eastwood High Sports Centre and Neilston Leisure Centre were closed for long periods for major refurbishments. During that time the swim team worked hard to maintain swimming lessons and develop new programmes. Now there is a variety of classes for every age group of children, children with disabilities and adults.
Youngsters can work their way through the Ocean Orbit swim scheme, with Little Splashers (pay as you go) aimed at tots aged three months to three years, right
through different levels, each one
building up competence, confidence and technique. These are up to the age of 16.
Ocean Orbit is available for children up to the age of 12 and rises to age 16 when you add the other swimming activities we provide.
To apply you must complete an application form, in person, at any of our centres (excludes little splashers) or for more information please contact the relevant swimming co-ordinator.
