Swimming — Abercorn School

Swimming is an important part of a child’s early years learning and development both physically and mentally.

Our youngest pupils from Pre-Reception benefit from speciliast teaching, with a qualified swimming teacher and National Coach supervising weekly swimming sessions in a teaching pool. This allows the children to work on building water confidence and basic fundamentals before moving into larger pools in the older years at Abercorn.

Swimming is about developing confidence and competence in the water so that children are able to enjoy swimming at both a leisurely and competitive level, whilst ensuring they also understand the health and wellbeing benefits of swimming.

We are fortunate to enjoy use of two indoor swimming facilities in close proximity to our school and our elder pupils have the opportunity to try out for the Abercorn Gators, the school swim team. The team train twice a week and take part in regular competitive fixtures which are thoroughly enjoyed across our school community.
