A safety campaign is set to make a splash with Lanarkshire youngsters by offering life-saving swimming lessons this summer in a bid to teach water awareness skills.
Around 70,000 children across Scotland will be offered the lessons during this year’s Drowning Prevention Week, organised by the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS), between July 18 and 25 as part of the acclaimed Learn to Swim programme - a partnership between Scottish Water and Scottish Swimming.
Coming after day-to-day lessons were interrupted for almost two years due to the pandemic, it reflects an urgent ongoing commitment to help children to become confident and competent swimmers while improving water safety for a new generation of swimmers.
