Kids make a splash as Shrewsbury primary school gets its own pool
Youngsters have been making a splash after their school got its own swimming pool.
Children at St Giles Primary School in Belvidere, Shrewsbury, have been getting swimming lessons after the school linked up with Embrace Group to get a pool installed for three weeks.
Headteacher Caroline Gardner said since the Covid pandemic less children had received swimming lessons.
She believes this is a useful way to help youngsters get more confident and competent in the water, as well as being far more convenient and having less impact on their other lessons.
"Normally we would take our year five and six children to one of the pools in town which would lose a whole morning every week going off in a coach and the cost of the coaches," she said.
