continue as an ambassador after Scottish Swimming and Scottish Water&#8217;s Learn to Swim partnership was extended for a fourth year.<\/p>\n<p>Scott, who produced the second-fastest split in history when he anchored the GB 4x100m medley relay to victory at last year&#8217;s World Championships in Gwangju, has undertaken an ambassadorial role alongside <strong>Toni Shaw<\/strong>, double gold medallist at the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement <a

closed for almost six months although Scottish Swimming warned that few were in a position to do so.<\/p>\n<p>A press release from Scottish Swimming regarding the partnership read:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Scottish Swimming and Scottish Water&#8217;s Learn to Swim partnership which has helped to create 100,000-strong new generation of young, safe swimmers through Leisure Trusts and Aquatic Providers across Scotland, is being extended for a fourth year, in a move that aims to boost the confidence of children around water.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the last few years, the Learn to Swim Framework has benefitted children from almost every region of Scotland, thanks to the successful partnership between Scottish Water, Scottish Swimming, Leisure Trusts and Aquatic Providers across the country.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Scott said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am delighted to continue supporting this important programme which will see thousands of

exceeding our target in February 2020 of teaching 100,000 children to swim ahead of our original ambitious deadline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContinuing our valuable partnership with Scottish Water means that more children can learn to be confident and competent swimmers, equipping them with the skills needed to be safe around water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are incredibly proud to continue the partnership \u2013
