The In-School PE Method (Recommended)

Frequency: 2 sessions per week (per class or grade)

Duration: 30 minutes in water (+ transit time)

Timing: Within the school timetable (Life Skills / PE periods)

Logistics: Splash Co provides transport, with school-appointed staff accompanying learners.

Each class follows a skills pathway:

  • Fundamentals → Learn-to-Swim (LTS 1–3) → Stroke Development (1–4)
  • Grouping by ability after a FREE class assessment
  • Measurable progress goals
  • End-of-term reports for school records and parents


By running sessions during school hours, every learner gets access – not just those with private transport.

After-School Option (Add On)

We also offer after-school enrichment lessons for schools that want to extend opportunities beyond core PE classes.

These focus on stroke development, technique refinement, and swim team preparation.

Timetables are co-created with your team to fit existing extramural schedules.
