Your Space to Feel Good

School Swimming

At BPL, our aim is to is provide a fun, safe and high quality environment for all children to have the opportunity to learn to swim, be safe around water and have an enjoyable experience.

BPL wants to promote and create life-long participation in physical activity and deliver a high quality, high achieving school  swimming programme, working in partnership with local schools. 

We strive to meet the Department for Education requirements for swimming and water safety whilst ensuring all pupils have the confidence to continue to access swimming and aquatic activities after their school  swimming lesson program is complete.

At BPL we believe that swimming is more than just a sport, it’s a vital life skill that every child should have the opportunity to learn. By delivering school swimming lessons, our goal is to make a positive impact on our community in several ways.

Through our school swimming program, we are not only teaching children to swim; we are empowering the next generation with safety, health, and confidence that would benefit our entire community.

Children have really enjoyed the experience. I have noticed more new swimmers this year compared to previous years. Loved the approach of taking armbands off and trying.rnrnStaff have been so accommodating of different needs.

Worsbrough Common

We ‘re always greeted at reception and sign in efficiently , changing rooms are largely clean and spacious and lockers are adequate.rnrnThe instructors are phenomenal- they use the children’s names and even differentiate activities within each ability group. They offer encouragement for effort, improvement and excellence. The instructors are always clear and the activities and varied and fast paced to keep the children attention. Next years group are already excited for their turn in the pool.

Summer Lane

The children have all made fantastic progress since the beginning of our swimming sessions. Our non swimmers are all now much more confident and nearly all of them can move safely through the water without armbands.rnrnThey have loved the challenges and games and more of these would be amazing.
