Swim England Activity Packs

Swim England Activity Packs are poolside resources for swimming teachers.

They help teachers keep lessons fun and engaging, whilst ensuring learners continue to build the skills needed to meet the outcomes of the Learn to Swim Awards.

All games and activities are carefully mapped to the Awards of the Learn to Swim Programme Frameworks and include the Core Aquatic Skills and fundamental movement skills needed to make confident and competent swimmers.

The packs are made up of laminated waterproof cards, which are suitable for use on the poolside. Cards can be separated from the pack and shared amongst teachers.
