School Swimming is now delivered as part of the curriculum in Years 3 & 5.
Children attend sessions at Hamble Sports Complex, Hamble Lane. All Hamble coaches are qualified to Swim England Level 2, hold a current Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and attend regular safeguarding and other professional training.
Swimming and water safety is a requirement of the curriculum. The aim is for all children to leave primary school with a basic ability to swim competently. Requirements are broken down into three; swimming 25 metres, using a range of strokes, knowing how to self-rescue.
All information regarding kit needed is in the Uniform section of this website.
From September 2023, Year 3 group sessions will take place weekly on Tuesdays, and Year 5 group sessions will take place on Wednesdays.
There are 4 groups per year group rotating each 9 weeks. Parents will be notified individually when their child's group will attend.
