Dumfries and Galloway Sub-Aqua Club, who regularly use the pool on a Sunday, offered local people young and old a try dive training session.

They were on hand to advise on the various pieces of equipment required, such as goggles and breathing through a mouthpiece while underwater.

Many of the New Cumnock swimmers took up the sub-aqua club on their offer, including Gette Fulton who earned a certificate of participation after the training.
