We are absolutely delighted to win the Scottish Water Learn to Swim Service Provider of the Year at the Scottish Swimming Awards 2023. And we are proud to be Scotland’s largest swimming lesson programme with more than 8,000 participants weekly.
Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is the only swimming lesson provider in Fife that delivers lessons following the national governing body, Scottish Swimming’s Learn to Swim pathway.
Our programme offers people of all ages, from babies to older adults, to get in the water and progress seamlessly through class levels, either building confidence, becoming a competent swimmer, progressing onto club level or learning new disciplines such as water polo.
In addition, children enrolled in our programme can enjoy free recreational swimming at any of our 9 pools in Fife.
This programme is designed to introduce you and your child to the water in a fun way making it exciting and enjoyable for you both. It will provide you as a parent with confidence and skills to help teach your child to swim.
The programme provides a fun, progressive and all-inclusive pathway for children to participate in any aquatic discipline to whatever level they aspire to.
Did you miss out on learning to swim as a child, or never really got the opportunity to swim when you were younger? It’s never too late to learn!

We are proud to be working in partnership with Scottish Swimming.
Swimming provides the opportunity to learn a life skill whilst interacting and having fun in a group environment. This should be no different for a child with a disability and where possible your child will be included in a class with their peers.
What should you expect from our swimming lesson programme?
All children should be having fun! They should be involved in games-based activities to help them learn skills such as breathing, submerging and moving in the water. Swimming strokes will be introduced gradually once a child has learned the core aquatic skills.

Before they start school, start swimming.
