Children have a block of 10 week swimming sessions in Years 2,3,4 and 5.  The school swims at Wantage leisure centre. We ask parents for a money contribution towards the cost of the coach.
 
We have 2 staff and parents helpers trained in Pool Assistance. The pool provides a lifeguard and 3 swimming instructors during each session.
