2025
In 2025, we delivered swimming lessons for Year 5 pupils at Shaw Primary School, focusing on developing confidence, water safety, and independent swimming skills.
Out of 62 pupils who took part in the programme:
52 pupils were able to swim unaided by the end of the programme.
17 pupils successfully swam 25 metres, achieving an important swimming milestone.
These results demonstrate the progress pupils can make with structured lessons, supportive coaching, and a focus on building confidence in the water.
We are proud to support Shaw Primary School in helping pupils develop essential lifelong swimming and water safety skills.
Swim in schools has been teaching swimming at SHAW primary for 3 years teaching and making the swimmers better during 2 weeks every year. In 2025 swim in schools taught Shaw primary Academy’s year 5’s for 2 weeks.
These results highlight the impact of structured swimming lessons and consistent coaching, helping more children gain confidence in the water and achieve key swimming milestones.
Supporting schools in developing safe, confident swimmers remains a core part of our programme.
