Year 4 pupils are taking part in weekly swimming lessons delivered by the Active Blackpool School Swimming Service at Moor Park Sports Centre. Swimming is an essential life skill and a statutory part of the primary PE curriculum, and these sessions provide pupils with high‑quality, professional instruction in a safe and supportive environment.

The lessons are led by qualified swimming teachers from Active Blackpool, who help pupils develop water confidence, improve swimming technique, and practise important water‑safety skills. Children are grouped according to ability so that they can be appropriately supported and challenged at each stage of their learning. Skills being developed include floating, breathing control, stroke technique, and safe pool behaviour.

Pupils have shown excellent enthusiasm, resilience, and independence during their sessions and are already making great progress. The programme also encourages children to build confidence and fitness while working cooperatively with others.

We are very proud of Year 4’s positive attitude and behaviour during their visits to Moor Park and look forward to seeing their swimming skills continue to improve with Active Blackpool’s support.
