YEAR 1 SWIMMING
Consent Form Due –MONDAY 25th November Payment Due - MONDAY 25th November
Dear Parents/Guardians,
In a state like Queensland, where water activities are part of our lifestyle, the safety of our children and families in and around the water is paramount. Water safety is a life skill which starts from the moment a child comes into contact with water through all stages to adult life.
As part of our Health and Physical Education program students from Year 2 are encouraged to participate in Swimming lessons during Term 4. These lessons will be held each day in Week 9 of the school term and will be supported with theory lessons back at school on water safety.
Week 9- Monday December 1st
Week 9 Tuesday December 2nd
Week 9- Wednesday December 3rd
Week 9- Thursday December 4th
Week 9- Friday December 5th
The 30 minute swimming lesson will be held during the school day and will be provided by qualified swim instructors from the new Swim Factory at the shopping centre on Dublin Avenue, Spring Mountain. Students will walk to and from the swimming venue supervised by school staff . We hope to see the majority of our students taking the opportunity to receive these swimming lessons at a very reasonable cost of $34.00 for five lessons.
The students wear their swimmers under their clothes to school, take off their uniforms and school shoes at school and walk to swimming in their swimming gear, towel and thongs/slide-on shoes.
Students will then put their uniform back over their swimwear once they return to school. Students can stay in the swimming shorts. We do not have change rooms at school. If a parent requires their child to change out of their swimwear please contact your class teacher to discuss.
What to Bring – all items must be NAMED!
• Swim wear ( togs, boardies and rash shirts)
• Swimming cap (optional)
• Goggles
• Towel
• Swimming bag/plastic bag for wet towel
• Thongs/slide-on shoes to wear to and from the pool
Cost : The cost for the four lessons is $34.00. This payment is non-refundable as all swimming lessons are paid in advance.
