New school year, new skills! 🏊

According to Swim England, a child is a competent swimmer when they can:

✅ Star float for 60 seconds

✅ Tread water for 30 seconds

✅ Swim in clothing

✅ Swim 100 metres non-stop with ease

Getting kids into the water early builds confidence and essential skills, setting them up for a lifetime of staying active and having fun.
