Children in Years 5 and 6 access school swimming sessions at The Oval swimming pool.

The National Curriculum sets out that children should be able to:

• Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25m

• Use a range of strokes effectively - for example, breast stroke, backstroke and front crawl

• Perform self-rescue in different water situations

For the academic year 2021-2022, 59% of our children met the swimming competency requirements
