Swimming

Swimming has a unique place in a balanced physical education programme. It provides students with a water-based learning experience through participation in a range of structured activities. It provides opportunities for the personal, physical, and social development of each pupil in a safe, enjoyable environment. There is an emphasis on the pupils’ movement in the water, either by means of identifiable strokes or combinations / adaptations thereof. The pupils’ understanding of personal safety and life saving in the aquatic environment is also addressed.
