Free Swimming Poster | Year 5 Core | BookFlik

Boost your pupils’ confidence in the water with our vibrant, free Pe swimming poster year 5 core resource. Designed specifically for the UK National Curriculum, this visual aid helps children understand essential water safety and stroke technique requirements. As swimming is a statutory requirement for primary schools, this Pe swimming poster year 5 core provides a clear, engaging summary of what pupils are expected to achieve by the end of Key Stage 2.

The poster features our friend Finn the dolphin, who guides children through the key learning objectives. Pupils will learn how to perform safe self-rescue, swim competently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres, and use a range of strokes effectively. By displaying this Pe swimming poster year 5 core in your classroom or sports hall, you provide a constant reminder of the skills required, from front crawl and backstroke to vital water safety rules.

Teachers can use this resource to kick-start lessons, assess prior knowledge, or as a handy checklist for tracking progress against curriculum targets. It is perfect for both classroom discussions and poolside briefings. This resource is carefully differentiated for learners working at the expected standard, using age-appropriate language that encourages independent reflection and goal setting.

Our resource pack includes five thought-provoking questions to help solidify learning:

1. Can you explain why it is important to know how to perform a self-rescue?

2. What are the three main swimming strokes you have practised this term?

3. If you have to swim 25 metres, how many lengths of a standard 12.5-metre pool would that be?

4. Why should you always check the depth of the water before entering a pool?

5. How can you demonstrate being a safe swimmer when you are not in the water?
