SWIMMING

Swimming for Sport

It was fantastic to see all of the children wearing their swim shirts last week. With the weather heating up it’s important to be sun safe so make sure your children remember to pack them again this week as well as their swimmers, a towel, googles and of course sunscreen. Our Aquatic Skills will commence on Monday 20th November each day until Friday 24th November. 

Due to children swimming on Wednesday this is our whole school sport activity for the week. No sport will be conducted on Fridays for Weeks 5 and 6 although sports uniform is still to be worn on both days.

Aquatic Skills

Aquatic Skills will be held every day of Week 7. We will have two highly qualified instructors from Gunnedah; Louise Shanley and Maxine Kiellor taking groups each day and working on learn to swim and stroke correction. Children that aren't swimming with these instructors will be swimming with other staff for the week. Confident swimmers will be working on water safety and endurance. 

If for any reason your child is unable to swim, please ensure that the reason is emailed or sent into the office. Students not swimming will go to the pool and sit in the shade and read a book as all staff will be at the pool.
