Swimming

At Bentley West, we recognise swimming as a life skill and see it necessary that children learn to swim and are able to perform safe self-rescue at an early age. We provide an Autumn term of swimming for Year 4 to start to build their confidence in the water and to teach them how to pull themselves out of water safely. We provide intensive swimming coaching in the Spring term for Year 5 and a summer refresher course for Year 6.

Here is our Year 6 cohort (21/22) swimming results:

Swim confidently over 25m - 73%

Range of effective strokes - 59%

Safe-self rescue strategies - 85%
