Swimming
All schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2.
In particular, pupils should be taught to:
- Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
- Use a range of strokes effectively (for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke)
- Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
Our children will be swimming at the London Aquatics centre in July 2024
We have also been fortunate to have the ‘Make a Splash’ ‘pop up pool’ in our school playground in 2015 for 12 weeks and 2013 for 12 weeks. During that time the whole school learnt to swim.
