Children need to bring togs, towels and goggles to school each day. If your child is unable to swim for any reason, please send a note to the classroom teacher. All children are expected to attend sessions, as swimming is part of the curriculum.

Parent help would be very much appreciated, particularly with the younger junior children to help with drying and dressing quickly afterwards in readiness for catching the bus. Offers of parent help can be made to your child’s teacher.

Please ensure your child’s School Activity Donation has been paid as this money is used to go towards the cost of tuition and buses. Please make payment at the School Office. Thank you.

JILL CLARKE’S TIPS TO HELP SWIMMERS THROUGH THE WEEK
 If you are cold in the pool wear a cap. This assists in reducing heat loss and protects other swimmers and instructors from any health issues e.g. head lice;

 Wearing a woollen hat to and from the pool will also keep you warm;

 Goggles protect eyes from chlorine and allow the swimmer to see underwater;

 Limited numbers of goggles are available if you have forgotten your own, do not forget to return goggles you have borrowed;

 If the class requires flippers select your correct size prior to the lesson. Flippers can be found in the equipment cage at the far end of the pool;

 Bring your own flippers if you have them; they often fit better;

 As swimming is kinaesthetic boys progress faster in short leg swimmers;

 Wetsuits are fine;

 We love children BUT for best results please keep non-swimmers quiet so that the swimmers in the water can hear. This includes mums and dads;

 Children who have had diarrhoea in the week prior to the lesson should not go in the water.
