My Department has no remit for the reopening of swimming pools under the Government’s Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021: Plan for Living with COVID-19.

Keeping schools open safely for children and staff is a key priority at all levels of the plan and any decisions regarding the participation of schools in swimming lessons will be taken in line with the public health advice prevailing at that time.
