Swimming Projects

St Crispin's School identifies weak/non-swimmers joining the school in year 7. Ludgrove provides use of the pool and a swimming instructor on a weekly basis to work with these children until they are competent swimmers.

Ludgrove provides use of its pool and a swimming instructor on a weekly basis to work with Evendons Primary School's children to meet their needs: teach those who can't swim to learn basic skills and to develop aquatic skills for those who can already swim.
