...'Doggy paddle' David Sparkes, of the ASA, said: "Swimming is one of the easiest, safest forms of exercise for children of all abilities, and school swimming is the single most effective way of teaching children how to be safe in and around water. "Yet swimming is one of the few areas of a child's statutory education that is all too often left unmeasured, unchecked or, for 1.1 million children, unfulfilled. "The additional £150m of ring-fenced investment by government for PE and school sport this September can provide a real lifeline for school swimming. "Schools have a rare opportunity to seize the moment in September 2013, and take action by investing in an activity that has a lifelong legacy and the ability to keep future generations safe." David Walker, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (Rospa), said: "Having the swimming and water-safety skills to save yourself or others doesn't come instinctively, it has to be taught. "Rospa hears all too often how parents believed their children could swim, only to find out their abilities were little more than being able to float and doggy paddle." A Department for Education spokeswoman said swimming would remain in the national curriculum. She added: "We are giving £150m directly to primary schools to spend on improving PE. They can use this money for anything to improve sport, from buying in professional coaching to covering the cost of getting children to and from the swimming pool. "We have also invested £750,000 to develop an initial teacher-training pilot to improve the standard of primary PE specialists, with the first 120 [specialists] ready to join schools from September.""
