In 2025 we taught year 1 all the way to year 6 at Belmont castle Academy each year group had one week of swimming lessons. Each child made 100% tracked progress in every year group. with each year group having one week of swimming lessons this allowed us to focus on getting them swimming and improving different strokes, whilst also making swimming fun and enjoyable.

Here is some feedback from the teachers and students at Belmont during our time there.
