Swimming and water safety is a statutory part of the National Curriculum, with the aim that by the age of 11 all pupils should be taught to:
- Pace themselves in floating and swimming challenges related to speed, distance and personal survival
- Swim unaided for a sustained period of time over a distance of at least 25 metres
- Use recognised arm and leg actions, lying on their front and back
- Use a range of recognised stroke and personal survival skills (such as front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, sculling, floating and surface dives)
