A new dawn is set to make a splash in Balerno, as the pioneering lesson provider, SwimEasy, announces a significant expansion, bringing its celebrated programme and much-needed swimming provision to the west of the city and strengthening the development of this essential life skill across the central belt.

The opening of the new Balerno venue on Sunday 17 August 2025, expertly run by SwimEasy, marks a pivotal moment for families in the area and beyond. As an affiliated partner of Scottish Swimming, the national governing body, SwimEasy upholds the highest standards of safety and governance. However, it is the company’s own unique, internally developed curriculum for both swimmers and teachers that sets it apart, a philosophy honed over 25 years to create what they confidently believe is a teaching and development programme unrivalled anywhere in the world.

This timely development aligns with a growing national focus on water safety, underscored by the National Primary School Swimming Framework. With Scotland's stunning but often perilous coastline and numerous lochs, the ability to swim is not just a recreational activity but a vital life-saving skill. SwimEasy’s new Balerno facility will directly support this national initiative by offering a comprehensive learn-to-swim pathway for all ages and stages.

At the core of the company’s success is "The SwimEasy Way," a meticulously structured approach built on five distinct pillars:

Organisation, Knowledge, Delivery, Relationships, and Feedback.

This philosophy is embedded in every lesson and is brought to life by the company’s exceptional teaching staff. SwimEasy invests heavily in its educators, operating a continuous professional development programme that is second to none. Through a comprehensive induction, quarterly training sessions, and daily collaboration, teachers are equipped with the latest techniques and a deep understanding of the SwimEasy method. This commitment ensures a consistent, high-quality experience for every child, regardless of which venue they attend.

This dedication to excellence is also reflected in the swimmer's journey. Children progress through a unique "Passport to Successful Swimming," where they are rewarded for mastering specific skills as and when they are ready, rather than waiting for the end of a term. This individualised, achievement-based progression fosters motivation and builds confidence in a way that truly sets SwimEasy apart.

The pool at Balerno High School perfectly complements this teaching style, featuring a consistent depth and warm water temperatures to create an encouraging atmosphere for even the most hesitant of beginners. Small class sizes, a hallmark of the SwimEasy programme, guarantee that each child receives the individual attention needed to flourish.

Beyond the immediate benefits for the Balerno community, this expansion represents a significant investment in the future of swimming in the central belt. By increasing the number of high-quality swimming lesson places, the new venue will help alleviate pressure on existing facilities. It is a direct response to the overwhelming demand from parents who seek out SwimEasy for its child-centred approach and proven results, with many of its graduates progressing to competitive club swimming.

The launch of the Balerno venue is more than just the opening of new swimming classes; it is the extension of a world-class educational philosophy. It is a commitment to the health, safety, and wellbeing of the next generation, delivered by an organisation dedicated to perfecting the art of teaching swimming. As the doors prepare to open, a new wave of young, enthusiastic swimmers in Balerno and across the central belt are poised to take the plunge and learn The SwimEasy Way.
