South Lanarkshire Leisure Swimming development levels

Swimming development levels

There are a wide range of swimming lessons on offer within each of our pools giving opportunities for all South Lanarkshire residents to be involved in swimming in some shape or form. The core programme in each facility should include most of the following, although some centres may not be able to offer a complete range of activities.

The Swim Officer at each facility is responsible for swimming lessons and therefore any enquiries in relation to bookings or availability should be directed, in the first instance, to the swimming pool of your choice.
