Swimming has so many benefits, both physical and psychological; it offers opportunities for fun, fitness and friendship – and of course it can be a lifesaver – but one third of children still leave school unable to swim, and once you’ve left school it can be even harder to take the plunge. Scottish Swimming’s vision is that Everyone Can Swim – but to do so people need support and encouragement, and that’s where Edinburgh Leisure comes in. There’s a huge programme of lessons and special sessions for everyone from babies to the elderly, ethnic communities, people with disabilities and those who can already swim but would like to improve their skills – and to deliver this programme, good teachers are always needed.
If you see swimming as an essential life skill – and you’re passionate about teaching that skill to others – Edinburgh Leisure would like to hear from you. The Aquatic and Learn to Swim teams are friendly and approachable – they know how to make learning to swim fun and they’re looking for enthusiastic like-minded people to join them, people who can take ordinary men, women, children and those with special needs and transform them all into happy swimmers.
If this sounds like you, and you are already qualified to at least UKCC Level 1 (preferably Level 2), come along to Edinburgh Leisure’s Open Evening on Thirsday night and find out more. It’s at Portobello Swim Centre, 57 The Promenade from 5.30 to 8.30pm: for more information please call the Swim Centre on 0131 669 6888 or Edinburgh Leisure on 0131 458 2100.
