ASA Swim England Learn to Swim Programme
The Swim England Learn to Swim Programme is the British leading national teaching syllabus for delivering safe, inclusive and effective swimming lessons for all ages.
The Learn to Swim stage 1 – 7 framework is ideal for children aged four through to 11, developing confident and competent swimmers through fun and enjoyment. Each of the Learn to Swim Stage 1-7 Awards has a list of clear outcomes that need to be completed in order to gain each Award.
The structured and progressive content is based on a games-led approach to ensure children enjoy learning. With a bright range of badges and certificates, the Programme provides motivation and support for children at every level – from their first splash to gaining their enhanced aquatic skills.
