Our programmes
The start of something lasting
Our pilot programmes have shown what’s possible. Building on this early success, 34 programmes will launch across the UK, including the expansion of eight existing pilot locations, helping even more children access swimming, sport and physical activity.
This is only the beginning. Together with our members, team members and partners, we have the opportunity to help thousands more children learn to swim, get active, build confidence, develop a lifelong love of movement and unlock their potential for years to come.

Building confidence early
Our focus is on ages 5–11, a crucial stage when confidence, curiosity and attitudes to learning take shape. Research consistently shows that attitudes toward learning, self-belief and even future aspirations begin to solidify during these primary school years.
Swim Together
Swimming is a life-saving skill, yet nearly a third of children in the UK leave primary school unable to swim.
The main aim of Swim Together is to help children learn to swim, with success measured by their ability to swim 25 metres unaided. Along the way, the programme helps children build confidence, feel safer in and around water and discover the joy of being active in the pool.
Move Together
Too many children face barriers to being active, missing out on the benefits that movement brings to physical health, wellbeing, confidence and social connection.
The primary aim of Move Together is to help children become more active by building confidence, developing movement skills and creating positive experiences of physical activity. The programme supports children to discover activities they enjoy and develop habits that can last a lifetime.
While the programme benefits all children, it can be particularly impactful for groups who are less likely to be active, including girls.
