Our Primary 5 children took the plunge this morning and took part in a West Lothian swimming assessment. Although there were some nerves and initial trepidation from those not so confident in the water, everyone  soon got the hang of it and was floating, swimming, ducking and diving. If your child was assessed, expect a letter soon saying he or she is already a competent swimmer or offering you a block of free swimming lessons to bring on their skills.
