This Policy is currently being reviewed.  Any changes are due to national guidance or feedback from the Bucks Swim Focus Group and key partners including schools.  We will update you with any key changes in  the Autumn Term.

All schools and staff in Buckinghamshire are supported in School Swimming through this guidance, whether at a school pool, hydrotherapy pool, public pool or during school visits. Included are policies and procedures of AVTP and Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) based on current national guidance.  The Appendices contain exemplar materials (i.e. NOP; EAP; Risk Assessment) and greater detail on guidance.
