Rochdale Observer
|November 05, 2025
THOUSANDS of schoolchildren across Rochdale have made a splash this year after the charity Your Trust revealed the positive impact of its school swimming programme.
Designed to help young people develop vital swimming and water safety skills, the data showed that a total of 3,297 pupils, ranging from Year 2 to Year 6, took part in school swimming lessons across Heywood Sports Village, Middleton Arena and Rochdale Leisure Centre during the last academic year.
The programme, which is delivered by Your Trust in partnership with local schools, Rochdale Borough Council and the Rochdale Borough School Games Partnership, has seen fantastic progress with 85 per cent of pupils able to swim unaided on both their front and back after completing lessons.
Additionally, 51 per cent of pupils could swim 25 metres comfortably, which was well above the target of 45 per cent set at the start of the year.
