PULSE


The Big School Swim is an annual event that celebrates swimming in schools. It is a great opportunity for you and your pupils to celebrate the fun – and importance – of learning how to swim and learning about water safety.


Last year, over 215 primary schools and 7,000 children across the country joined in, sharing photos and stories about their experience. This year we want to make it even bigger and better.


Register your interest for the next Big School Swim 12-16 November 2018 at bit.ly/BigSchoolSwim18.
