Year 5/6 Swimming Program

As part of our Physical Education Program, Swimming lessons will be conducted for Years 5 and 6 students in Term 3. 

All students will be involved in an intensive Swimming Program over 8 days at Aquastar Swim School – 24 Arco Lane, Heatherton 3202.

Lessons will be 45 minutes duration. Your child will have swimming lessons each school day commencing on Monday 29th July 2024 and concluding on Thursday 8th August 2024. There will be no swimming lesson on Friday 2nd August.

All students are required to wear swimming caps in the pool (unless sensory issues makes this too difficult). It is also strongly advised that students wear goggles to provide for a better swimming experience. 

Lessons are part of the Physical Education Curriculum and all children are expected to participate in the Swimming Program. 

Any child who does not participate in the program must have a doctor's certificate and will be expected to attend the pool. They will travel on the bus to the pool with the rest of their class.

The cost of the Swimming Program is  $130 and  has been included on your yearly statement.
