Swimming and the national curriculum
​
Swimming and water safety is a statutory element of the national curriculum for physical education in England. This means that every child should leave primary school with the skills to keep themselves safe while enjoying swimming.
​
At Wickhambreaux all children in Key stage 1 participate in swimming lessons and water safety lessons delivered by qualified instructors to enable them to develop the following skills:
-
Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
-
Use a range of strokes effectively, for example, front crawl, back stroke and breast stroke.
-
Perform safe self-rescue in water based situations.
Wickhambreaux School give children the opportunity to continue with swimming lessons to develop required ability where appropriate.
