Learn to Swim Framework
Stage 1-7 Awards

The Swim England Learn to Swim Framework is about developing confident and competent swimmers through fun and enjoyment, with stages 1-7 being at the core of the programme. This framework builds the skills and motivation needed to develop a lifelong love of water and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle through swimming.

It is the most widely known framework for swimming lessons for children and is the backbone of swimming lessons for primary school aged children. Each of the seven stages of the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework have a clear set of targets for the swimmer to meet so that they can progress to the next stage.
