Free Swim Lessons at Picky Pool

Wednesday, August 17, 2022

Swim lessons are being made available free of charge to assist new swim instructors.

These lessons are part of the Scottish Swimming instructor training curriculum, to give new swim instructors the experience of working with children in a pool setting.

Please be aware that photos and/or videos will be taken at these sessions to meet training objectives and may be used for marketing purposes. These images/videos may be submitted to Scottish Swimming for staff training and may be used on Picky’s website or social media channels. By enrolling your child you are agreeing to these terms.

Please ensure your child only attends the session they are booked on and inform us in advance by emailing our Courses team  if your child is unable to attend. There is a limited number of spaces available and it’s important that the instructors in training have sufficient numbers for training purposes.

To enrol your child, check the timetable below (or download the Swimming schedule) and email our Courses team with your child's name, level and the date/time you would like. We will not be able to take bookings through reception. Be sure to include any medical or additional support needs required.
