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.

☀️ Summer starts with water safety ☀️
As families look ahead to the summer holidays, our new campaign is reminding parents not to leave water safety until the last minute. The time to start swimming lessons is now. 💧
Fronted by Michael Gunning, the campaign highlights the difference between a child who can just splash and one who is truly water safe, able to stay calm, float and cope in open water. Those skills take time to build. ⭐
Swimming lessons started now help families enjoy the summer later! 💦
