Primary School Swimming & Carnival 

 Learn to Swim lessons have been enjoyable and excitement is building for our up-coming Primary Swimming Carnival on Friday the 15th March (Week 7). A friendly reminder to ensure your child is taking their sun smart swim shirt, and personal sunscreen as required. It is always a wonderful, safe and enjoyable day and we look forward to seeing any parents who would like to come. Parents & Carers are asked to view from outside the LTS pool for easier and safer running of the events. 

Students will be transferred from school in a chartered bus and will arrive at the pool at 11am. They will be asked to sit in their house, where they will be supervised by the house teacher. Our Swimming Carnival is about students having a positive attitude, we encourage good sportsmanship and team spirit. 

During the day, the students participate in a variety of swimming games, such as Pool Ponies, Treasure Diver, Golden Fish, Whales and Krill and Free Play Grass Games. Conducted from about 11.10 through until 2pm, with a lunch break and some free play, about 1pm to 1:30pm.
