Year 5 & 6 Swimming

In Years 5 and 6 our children attend intensive swimming sessions at Copeland Pool in the Autumn term.

Following these sessions our children work towards a range of skills, at  varying levels and they aim towards the following targets:

*Children are able to swim competently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25m,

*Children are able to use a range of strokes efficiently, and 

*Children are able to perform at safe rescue in different water-based situations.

In our current Year 6 cohort, following from their sessions in the Autumn term,  42% of children fully meet the targets above.
