PUPILS at Ardvreck School and the local community in Crieff, Scotland have been enjoying the school’s newly refurbished on-site swimming pool.
The newly upgraded, heated facility provides a safe, welcoming and ideal environment for younger children to learn how to swim and build water confidence.
Designed with pupils in mind, the refurbished pool is the perfect depth for beginners, ensuring children can develop vital swimming skills in a supportive and comfortable setting.
Swimming forms an important part of Ardvreck’s holistic approach to education, with regular lessons helping to build resilience, coordination, and life-saving water safety skills from an early age.
Ardvreck has also extended the use of the swimming pool to local community groups and organisations. The pool is now available to book throughout term time, offering valuable opportunities for local clubs, schools, and youth organisations.
Ali Kinge, Headteacher at Ardvreck, which was named ‘Best Prep School’ by Tatler 2025, said: “We were thrilled to reopen our beautifully refurbished
swimming pool. It’s a fantastic resource for our pupils, and we are equally excited to share it with our wider community.
“Ardwreck is passionate about strengthening connections with locel groups, and we hope this facility will enhance our community network and provide a safe, enjoyable space for children to learn, play, and stay active.”
