St Simon Swimming @ Home Resource
St Simon the Apostle is proud to provide parents and students from Prep to Year 4 the Swimming @ Home resource. We understand it is hard to practise swimming techniques without a pool available. Therefore, this virtual program will provide students a way to practise fundamental water skills in the comforts of your home. We invite all parents to encourage their child/ren to partake in the lessons. Once your child has completed a lesson, the form on the website can be completed and certificates will be issued stating the courses completed by your child/ren. Good luck and give it your very best!
