In England, swimming becomes a part of the national curriculum around Year 3 or 4.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_1_(education)

Year 1 is an educational year group in schools in many countries including England, Wales, Australia and New Zealand. It is usually the first year of compulsory education and incorporates students aged between five and seven.

Hmm. So she probably should have had swimming instruction by that age.
