Students will be walked to Mentone Grammar School Aquatic Centre each day of the program. Swimming instructors from the centre will be running the sessions to ensure that students become confident and safe in water. All students will be assessed on the first session and then grouped according to their ability and familiarity with the water environment. This is a great opportunity to develop skills and techniques in the water, complementing but not replacing your own swimming lessons.
Students are to wear their Sport uniform with their bathers underneath to school. Girls are to wear one piece bathers to their waist underneath their sport uniform. Upon arrival at the swimming pool, girls will pull up their bathers.
Students will need to bring a named towel and underwear in a swimming/excursion bag. As we are walking please also pack a hat and thin raincoat/parker if required.
