School Swimming

All of our Year 4 children attend swimming lessons at Manchester Aquatics Centre every Monday with school. Learning about water safety and knowing how to keep safe in water is a life skill, and as such is recognised and measured in the same ways as other key subjects. Please ensure all Year 4 children remember to bring in their Swim Kit every Monday.

The aims of the swimming lessons are:

  • to ensure all Stanley Grove children (Year 4 and above) can swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
  • Use a range of strokes effectively
  • Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
