Learn to Swim at Govanhill Baths

After 16 years, swimming has finally returned to Govanhill Baths.  Our Learner Pool has been in use since January 2017, and we been busy setting up a variety of new programmes.  We have begun a Learn to Swim programme for young children and our first term finishes at the end of March, and we will be starting the new term in April – further details can be found below.  We have also been delivering women only swimming lessons to targeted groups, and will be opening up some new classes for people who are in receipt of benefits or working tax credits.  Our pool is totally private, and the changing area will be closed to the general public while the pool is in use.
