The Importance of Swimming for Children

It is a national recommendation that children are confident in water and able to swim 25 metres by the time they leave primary school. Swimming is a life skill that can lead to the enjoyment of many sports, for example, diving, water polo, synchronised swimming and competitive swimming. If your child is unable to swim, please consider booking some swimming lessons at your local pool.
