Physical education – key stages 1 and 2


            Swimming and water safety
            All schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2.


            In particular, pupils should be taught to:

              swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres

              use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and
                breaststroke]

              perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
