Swimming is a national curriculum requirement. The 3 requirements for swimming and water safety are that by the end of Key Stage 2 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 a safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
   

We use the PE and sport premium to fund swimming professional development. We also use the PE and sport premium to provide additional top-up swimming lessons to pupils who have not been able to meet the national curriculum requirements .
