Cardiff partners schools with local swimming pools to improve children's swimming ability.

Cardiff plans to tackle its "all-time low" levels of swimming ability among children by partnering schools with local swimming pools, offering shared transport, and streamlining booking systems. Just 16% of Cardiff children can swim, and only 57% of primary schools provided swimming lessons in 2022/23. The pilot scheme, starting in September, may "save lives" by preventing drownings, according to Swim Wales.
