Swim4Life film

A series of short clips to introduce Swim4Life and show you specific games to get active with in the pool. Click on one of the 12 icons below to find out just how much fun you can have in the water.

If you want a copy of these videos please email us at: c4lpartnerships@dh.gsi.gov.uk

Important notice:
The Swim4Life games have been developed with expert guidance for parents and carers to play in the water with their children. Adults supervising children must take responsibility for their safety and remind participants to comply with pool rules. Rules vary from pool to pool and some games may not be permitted by your local pool provider. Check with your local pool provider first if you have any doubt whether a game is suitable. If you are not the child’s parent or carer, you should not get in the water without parental consent.
