Swimming has a unique place in a balanced physical education programme. It provides pupils 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 pupil’s movement in the water, either by means of identifiable strokes or combinations/adaptations thereof. The pupil’s understanding of personal safety and life saving in the aquatic environment is also addressed.
