School‑Based Swimming Education in Primary Children: A Systematic Review of Teaching Approaches, Aquatic Competence, and Water Safety Outcomes

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This project hosts the materials for a systematic review on school-based swimming education for primary school children (approximately 6–12 years). The review synthesizes experimental and quasi-experimental studies on swimming and water safety programmes delivered through schools, using Block’s 5C framework (Context, Content, Conduct, Coaching, and Consequences) as an analytical lens. The project includes the review protocol, search strategies for Scopus and Web of Science, PRISMA 2020 flow diagram, data extraction files, and analytic notes. The aim is to identify programme configurations that most effectively improve aquatic competence, water safety knowledge, and psychological outcomes (confidence, enjoyment) in primary school children. The review is prepared for submission to the journal Retos.
