We are thrilled to share some exciting news. Our innovative Swim:ED programme is featured in the Spring 2025 edition of Physical Education Matters, the Association for Physical Education (afPE) journal!
Temporary pools play a crucial role in expanding access to aquatic education, particularly for schools and communities facing barriers to traditional swimming lessons. This guidance is a significant step toward protecting and empowering children with access to safe and effective swimming education. Swim:ED ensures safe, high-quality aquatic experiences while reducing barriers that schools face with traditional swimming and water safety education. Our programme stands out through rigorous safety protocols, effective planning, and quality instruction, resulting in zero incidents.
Swimming and water safety are essential life skills. Yet, alarming statistics reveal that nearly one in three pupils leave primary school unable to swim 25 metres, a direct consequence of increasing UK pool closures and limited access to swimming facilities.
The Swim:ED programme has stepped up to meet this challenge head-on, bringing the pool to the pupils with our innovative pop-up pool solution. Our solution eliminates logistical barriers and delivers high-quality, results-driven swim education on school premises.
Unlike traditional school swimming lessons that often struggle with limited pool access, travel disruptions, lost classroom learning time, and heightened costs, Swim:ED provides a fully equipped, expert-led, and results-focused solution.
Swim:ED redefines school swimming by bringing high-quality lessons directly to schools, making learning to swim more accessible, effective, and inclusive.
