Keynote: Swim England

It’s part of the national curriculum, boosts physical and mental health, and is both a life and a lifesaving skill.

And yet 1 in 4 children leave school unable to swim.

Primary schools are faced with a multitude of challenges when it comes to delivering swimming and water safety lessons. Funding, teacher training, curriculum pressures, facility access, just to name a few.

The fear is, if action isn’t taken, that 1 in 4 could rise to 6 in 10 children by 2025.

Speedo’s Swim United campaign is calling on the Government to invest in primary school swimming to affect real change.

And we too must unite to take action, to do everything we can to ensure every child has the opportunity to learn to swim.

Which is why we’re delighted to announce that Ashley Jones, Water Safety and Drowning Prevention Manager for Swim England, will be joining us at The Active Primary Schools Conference to deliver a keynote speech.

Ashley is responsible for supporting school swimming, water safety interventions and providing technical expertise across the sport.

In his keynote speech, Ashley is set to share:

  • The importance of school swimming
  • Opportunities to bring swimming and water safety into the classroom
  • How you can best use limited pool time

To learn how your school can best support children to gain this essential life skill, join us at The Active Primary Schools Conference on the 25th November.
