SIX YOUTH volunteers from Oban Otters have completed the Scottish Swimming Poolside Helper Training Certificate.
Tutor Emma Darcy said: ‘This course gives the teenagers the skills and confidence to start out on their own pathways as swimming teachers and coaches. They may already be accomplished swimmers themselves, but the training helps them translate their expertise in the water to the younger children.’
Scottish Swimming developed the course as part of a campaign to keep children swimming through the teenage years.
