Award Scheme

At Henry House, we follow the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme, a nationally recognised pathway that helps children develop confidence, water safety and strong swimming skills step by step. Our youngest swimmers start with Discovery Duckling and Duckling Awards, introducing them to the water through fun play and parent involvement. From there, children progress through Stages 1–5, where they build water confidence, learn essential techniques such as floating, gliding and basic strokes, and develop good body position and breathing skills. By Stage 5, swimmers can confidently swim on their front and back, demonstrate a range of strokes with control, and are ready to move on to more advanced stages or club-level swimming.
