During the Spring Term, children in Year 4 at Marsh Green attend swimming lessons once a week. These lessons provide an introduction to swimming, helping children develop basic skills and confidence in the water. To build on this foundation, we encourage families to arrange regular swimming lessons outside school wherever possible, giving children the practice they need to become confident swimmers. Swimming is an important life skill that supports both water safety and a healthy, active lifestyle.

Please read the attached swimming information for details of the swimming skills children are expected to achieve by the end of Year 6, the stages of swimming development, and local leisure centres, including how to get there by bus.

If your child attends a swimming club or earns any swimming certificates, please let us know—we would love to celebrate their swimming successes on this page!
