Children learning to swim across Aberdeenshire will have the chance to make up for lost time with the continuation of the council’s Learn to Swim programme throughout the summer.

Normally the programme only runs in school terms, with intensive lessons offered at local pools throughout the summer holidays.

But in response to demand, the current temporary programme will continue over the summer.
