Summary:By the end of KS2 pupils are expected to be able to swim 25 metres yet success rates are hit and miss - some London boroughs have an 80% failure rate.

By prioritising it, the school has seen improvements not only in pupils swimming achievements but also in behaviour and confidence levels - with positive effects across the curriculum. The Amateur Swimming Association also offers expert advice on the class teacher's role at the pool and how to best prepare pupils for a first lesson.
