Kindergarten – Year 2 School Swimming Scheme
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Arrangements have been made for our Kindergarten to Year 6 children to take part in the School Swimming Scheme Program to be held at Michael Wenden Pool. This is a 10 day intensive learn to swim program in the indoor heated pool, which develops water confidence and provides students with basic skills in water safety and survival. The program is aimed at students who have not reached a satisfactory standard of water safety and survival skills, and are unable to swim 25m confidently unaided in deep water. Trained swimming teachers deliver the lessons and Busby West Teachers will accompany the children at all times.
Date: Monday 3 September – Friday 14 September
Time: 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
Cost: $100
Students will need to bring the following for each lesson: a swimming costume, towel, rash shirt, goggles, plastic bag for wet items and their school jumper or jacket for cooler days. All the above items should be packed separately in a small backpack or sports and must be clearly labelled with their name. Please check to make sure any uniform items worn to the pool are also labelled. Please make sure you pack adequate drinks and snacks (a larger morning tea and lunch may be needed).
Children who are ordering lunch during the swimming scheme will not be able to order hot food items. The last group of children will need to write swimming school on their lunch order bag.
If you have any concerns regarding the Swimming Scheme Program’ please see Mrs Robinson 5/6R
Deposit of $20.00 is required by the 3 August and full payment by 17 August.
NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN.
Regards
Mrs Robinson Mr Robinson
