In 2019 leisure facility energy bills were £500mil, in 2022 £1.2bn 🤯 YET they have been LEFT OUT of the UK governments energy bill discount scheme!! Something needs to be done!! @RishiSunak@StuartAndrew@NicolaSturgeon
That’s a bit harsh, just cause he has a metal hip!!
So inspiring not only watching this guy compete at the highest level but the manner in which he does it 🏴🙌🏼
Absolutely devastating news. Such quick wit - I can’t count the number of times I’ve watch his ‘best bits’ on YouTube 🙌🏼 Thoughts are with his family #CarrotInABox 🥕
Incredible trip to Orkney 💙 Two passions in one trip… 🏊♂️🥃
A learn to swim event and a whisky tour, the order they are done in is quite important!!
Thanks @highlandparkofficial 🙌🏼
I am in disgust 😡 Our open invite WOD cancelled due to a sick individual. I am sorry for what everyone and more importantly what the kids that were apart of the WOD had to see!! @ScottishSwim have released further statements below...
Sadly our link for this mornings ZOOM workout has been compromised due to abusive content.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and we will look to reschedule in the near future.

Tomorrow I’ll be at @falkirksport to officially launch the #LearntoSwim programme, delivered by @ScottishSwim and @Scottish_Water! The framework covers 100+ pools across Scotland and more than 53,000 children are taking part already 😮🙌🏼
Each year there’s countless tragic stories of water related fatalities - It’s time we educate one another and be safe this summer 👊🏼
With the weather improving, let’s be on top of our water safety 🙌🏼 Check out this short video!

I’d love to know which (if any) athletes were asked about this decision 🧐
2023 July Worlds…6 months later…Jan 2024 Worlds and then July 2024 Olympics.
A totally bizarre decision and one I hope gets reconsidered! Surely just move it to 2025? @fina1908
Back at @BUCSsport once again 🙂 This time not as a student so no finals….all in heats it is 👊🏼☕️
200 free + 400IM double this morning. 1.48 + 4.20. Solid enough.
200 fly up bright and early tomorrow!
Pleasure to welcome Olympic and three time Commonwealth Champion @Dunks_Scott to #BUCSNat10nals 🤩
The former @StirlingUniSwim showed his class in his opening race at Ponds Forge 👌
More good news...

Great turnout from @AscSharks and thanks to @STVNews for covering the fight against another possible pool closure!!
I’ll be watching closely and my fingers are crossed that this facility is kept open 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Another British Swimming Olympian confirms their retirement today, as @mrStephenMilne hangs up his goggles 👌⤵️

Personally don’t feel any sport should be in the olympics unless it’s the pinicle of achievement in that given sport & requires a high level of physical fitness.. that’s my opinion after 11 olympics & 40yrs experience - but the IOC will make their choices based on tv dollars 💵
Extremely excited to announce we have been granted planning permission to build a brand new £20m sports centre! Exciting times ahead for sport, health and wellbeing @StirUni! Full story at stir.ac.uk/1n8@Stir_Sports@StirUniNews@stirlingunion
🫵🏼 You could make a great swim teacher 🫵🏼
Finishing off school, a job while at uni or simply a career change… there’s a role for you in the Learn to swim framework!!
“I would say just give it a go! From the number of lessons I’ve watched, swimming teachers are phenomenal” 🫶
Listen to what @Dunks_Scott has to say about becoming a swimming teacher 👇
