I'd like to personally thank all of our customers for your incredible support, commitment, and patience throughout this period of uncertainty.
Thanks to the collective efforts of everyone who took the time to have their voices heard, Xcite has announced that the proposed locations have been paused. You can read their full statement below:
For now, we're staying put and remain committed to working alongside Xcite to continue growing and serving our customers. Thank you for standing with us every step of the way.
Bryan and The SwimโnโLearn Team
Following a period of consultation with local swimming clubs and independent providers, the pool relocation proposals planned for October have been paused.
Having listened carefully to the feedback received, we have decided not to proceed with the current proposals, and no provider will be required to relocate under them.
We will continue to work with Scottish Swimming-affiliated clubs and providers to explore alternative ways to make best use of the local pool facilities we manage and support sustainable swimming provision across West Lothian.

๐ Assessment weeks are here! ๐
Over the next two weeks, weโll be celebrating everything our swimmers have achieved throughout this block.
Our teachers will be assessing each swimmerโs progress and recognising their achievements. Depending on where they are in their swimming journey, this could mean earning a stage certificate, achieving a distance award, or receiving one of our star awards for their hard work and determination. ๐
โจ
Every swimmer progresses at their own pace, and weโre proud of every milestoneโwhether thatโs swimming a little further, mastering a new skill, or building confidence in the water.
We canโt wait to celebrate all of the fantastic progress our swimmers have made. Good luck to everyone over the next two weeks! ๐๐
