Following the success of their deaf friendly swim lessons last year, Edinburgh Leisure is having their first ‘Deaf Friendly Swimming Open Day’ this Saturday (28 January) from 1.30-3.30pm with a view to attracting new participants and offering classes for pre-schoolers, where the parent/carer is present in the water with them and older children with a hearing impairment.
The Open Day, funded by Deaf Action, a local authority for deaf young people, will be held at Portobello Swim Centre. Free 30 minute sessions will be available, led by specialised swim coaches, who have been trained in adapting activities for deaf children and adults.
Booking is essential and requests should be sent to laurafallen@edinburghleisure.co.uk
