The Swim England Learn to Swim Framework is about developing confident and competent learners through fun and enjoyment, and Learn to Swim Stages 4-7 form the second part of this core programme.

Each of the Learn to Swim Stages 4-7 generally take longer to achieve for children compared with Learn to Swim Stages 1-3.

A way to continue to motivate and support learners through these Stages is to utilise the complementary Awards.
