Swimming is an important skill and can encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.

In accordance with the National Curriculum, schools must provide swimming instruction either in Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2.

The programme of study for PE sets out the expectation that 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.
