Swimming and water safety

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.
