Swimming

Term 4 began with a splash!

This week, all year levels commenced the school swimming program, which assists students in developing their swimming capacity and helps them understand and practice water safety. The children have enjoyed travelling with other year levels on the bus to the pool, having a great time getting in the water and learning something new or building upon their existing swimming skills.

Younger students have expressed joy in learning to kick their legs, float on the surface and place their faces under the water. It has been great to see all Prep students be brave by doing some of these things for the very first time.

As well as this, many of the older students are learning the correct technique for different strokes and practising swimming longer distances.

Well done to everyone on a great first week of the school swimming program. We hope that you enjoy the remaining lessons in Week 2!
