Swimming Information Letter.pdf
Swimming at Braddan School for Year 3 - 6 will be starting on the first week in February 2027. Dates will be confirmed closer to the time.
Swimming is part of our curriculum. If your child has a reason for not swimming, please send in a note explaining the reason to their class teacher or email Mrs Brookman at the office.
For children who forget in their swimming kit, we have organised school sets so we can provide one. They need to be returned to school on the day they are borrowed so we can wash them for other students' use.
The NSC provides guidance on swimwear, which we have included below.
Key Isle of Man swimming information:
Swim England provides an established framework for the delivery of school swimming lessons and water safety education within schools. By aligning the Isle of Man's approach to the delivery of Primary School Swimming with that of Swim England, we are delivering a local programme to nationally endorsed standards and best practices.
A specific programme of study aligned to Swim England, will be delivered across all primary schools. This curriculum is designed to ensure that every pupil receives structured, progressive swimming lessons that build confidence, competence and safety awareness.
