Swimming Program

Swimming Water Safety Week

As part of the swimming program, on Thursday 21st November all children will be participating in Water Safety Week. Children will be swimming in old clothes and bathers without goggles or swim caps. It is a fantastic opportunity for the children to learn water safety and survival skills in a controlled environment. This class will also focus on what items you can use around the pool that may help you stay afloat or use as a life saving device for others.   

In addition to their regular swim items (bathers, towel, thongs, underwear, plastic bag etc), children will be also be required to bring:

• An old set of clothes to wear over their bathers in the water such as t-shirt and shorts, bike shorts, leggings or light short pajamas (no jeans, tracksuits, hoodies or jumpers)
• An extra plastic bag for the wet clothing.
• no goggles or swimming caps will be worn during this session.

At the end of the session all children who participate will receive a Water Safety Certificate and a Squirt Tattoo.
