Making waves in primary education
Eliminate the stress and logistical nightmares of traditional primary school swimming with Swim:ED. Our innovative, on-site pop-up pool solution ensures safety and quality on your school playground, which preserves precious learning time, simplifies your staffing, and aligns with national curriculum requirements.
Swimming education on your school playground
Swim:ED redefines primary school swimming and water safety, by bringing it directly to your school. Picture a heated pop-up pool securely enclosed within a temporary modular structure on your playground. With qualified instructors and lifeguards, we eliminate the need for off-site travel, preserving precious study time. It’s more than convenience; it’s a commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and vibrant learning environment, where every child acquires vital swimming and water safety skills. Dive into Swim:ED and navigate towards a future, where every pupil is confident, competent and safe in the water.
A vital life skill every child deserves
Swimming is an essential life skill. Alarmingly, 1 in 4 children in England leave primary school unable to swim 25 metres or perform crucial safe self-rescue—this could surge to 1 in 3 by 2025, if no action is taken. Swim:ED is here to stem the tide, ensuring every pupil is equipped with this life-saving skill.

Ian Griffiths, Deputy Head, Timberley Primary Academy
”The progress made by the children and the confidence they had in the water was more than we could have hoped for. All of the children loved the sessions and the small group numbers meant that lessons were individualised. The sessions ran smoothly with no disruption to the rest of the school.”
Chris Hattam Headteacher, Westbourne School
“Swimming progress and attainment have improved at an incredible rate during the 6 weeks that the pop-up pool was on site. Our pupils have all developed their resilience and perseverance as well as their swimming skills for life.”
