THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING HOW TO SWIM AT SCHOOL
Learn water safety
Reduce the risk of drowning
Improve strength and coordination
Build confidence
Improve cardiovascular health

First and foremost is to avoid DROWNING. It is so preventable. Here at Waterskills, we believe all children should have the opportunity to learn how to swim and be taught how to stay safe in and around water. Many children learn to swim outside of school, but for some, primary school will be the only opportunity they have to learn these vital lifesaving skills. That is why it is so important to ensure all our primary and secondary schools are supported to provide the best possible swimming and water safety provision for all their pupils.

Come prepared


We provide floaters and all other equipment. There will be instructors and lifeguards on duty on the pool deck. Students are required to bring:

A swimsuit that is designed for swimming helps minimize water resistance and drag, making it easier to move through the water and improve swimming efficiency.
Swimming goggles are essential for eye protection, improved vision, and overall comfort while swimming.
A swimming cap's primary use is to keep hair out of the face and eyes while swimming, preventing it from getting tangled or interfering with goggles. It also reduces drag in the water, helps protect hair from chlorine, and can contribute to a swimmer's hydrodynamic profile, potentially aiding speed.
A swimming towel is crucial for swimmers as it provides comfort, hygiene, and convenience after a swim. It quickly absorbs water, helps dry off, and can be used for warmth or sunbathing. A well-chosen towel can significantly enhance the post-swim experience.
If a child requires a support staff/aide in school, they will also need this support in the water.
