Swimming Program

We are very excited to be running a week’s worth of swimming lessons again this year.

The 45-minute lessons will be held at the North Bellarine Aquatic Centre and are a great opportunity to develop valuable water safety/swimming skills over the course of a single week.

The cost of these lessons is only $30 and is heavily subsidised by the Department of Education. This cost covers the bus ride, entry to the pool and the lessons for the whole week.

Lessons for the Middle and Senior students (Year 3–6) will be held in Week 6 on Monday, 2nd March to Friday, 6th March. Permission and payments for this activity can now be actioned in the Sentral Parent app.

Lessons for the Foundation and Junior students (Prep–Year 2) will be held in Week 8 on Monday, 16th March to Friday, 20th March. Permission and payments for this activity will be coming soon in the Sentral Parent app.

Once permission and payments have been finalised, we will be able to communicate a timetable if anyone was interested to come along and watch some lessons.

Keen swimmers are also invited to try out for the Division Swimming Championships which are being held at Kardinia Aquatic Centre on Tuesday, 10th March.

To qualify a swimmer must be able to swim 50m continuously under a certain time. These times are quite fast, but this is because it is a Division event and is based on the premise that those who meet the qualifying times would have placed at a District event (if there was one).

Mr Kennedy is happy to hold a trial afternoon at the Drysdale Pool at 4pm on Thursday 19th February if anyone is interested in trying to meet the times.
