Pupils at Filey Infant School celebrate swimming success
The children, some of which had never been in a swimming pool before, have been attending swimming lessons at Everyone Active in Scarborough since October.
Key Stage One teacher, Mrs Faye Mackay, said: “Every class gets about eight weeks of lessons and every child receives a certificate.

The school receives special sports premium funding to take the children swimming, which they have to apply for each year.
Mrs Mackay said: “We hope to continue to receive the funding for as long as possible as it is so expensive to go swimming.”
