Making water safety and swimming achievable for every child, directly at your school. Swim:ED is PH ActiveEd’s portable swimming programme, a fully equipped, curriculum-aligned solution that brings high-quality swimming and water-safety lessons to your school site.
No coach travel. No lost learning time. Just confident, capable swimmers.
What is Swim:ED?
Swim:ED is an innovative school swimming programme that delivers swimming and water safety lessons using a portable, heated pool set up on your school grounds.
Designed for primary schools that face barriers to accessing local pools, it provides every pupil with the opportunity to learn this essential life skill, safely, conveniently and effectively.
“The progress our pupils made in just two weeks was incredible. Confidence, technique and enjoyment all skyrocketed.”
— Rob, Chapmanslade Primary School
