Swimming
Swimming provides children with full-body cardiovascular exercise.
It also provides them with a potentially life-saving skill.
Students follow a comprehensive swimming scheme that helps develop both swimming technique and water safety skills and understanding. Our aim is to ensure that all students know how to keep themselves and others safe around any body of water.
Lessons begin in Reception, and every student has 1 term of weekly swimming lessons, led by one of our team of qualified instructors.
We are delighted to provide ocean swimming as part of our provision. As students progress, some swimming lessons take place on the beach and inside the reef, where new skills and techniques are introduced and developed.



Water safety and swim technique

Swimming lessons occur weekly from Reception. Children follow a comprehensive swimming scheme which provides equal weighting to technique and water safety. A copy of the skills progression can be found here. Swimming lessons at TradeWinds run from September until April, at which point they are replaced with another aerobic activity.
