Our Daily Swimming Program will begin this week for students in Years 3-6. It is a 9 day program that runs everyday. We rely on teachers and volunteer parents to conduct the sessions. We have grouped children according to similar abilities and give them a daily opportunity to practise and improve their skills and improve water confidence. We follow the ‘Royal Life Saving’ program. While many of the adults are ‘Austswim’ trained, some are not. Please remember, it is not squad training and there are not any professional swimming coaches involved. Life Guards will be at the pool at all times during the sessions.

 

Swimming sessions will take place over the following dates:

Week 1 – Monday 4th Feb, Tues 5th Feb, Wed 6th Feb, Thurs 7th Feb, Fri 8th Feb,

Week 2 – Mon 11th Feb, Tues 12th Feb, Wed 13th, Thurs 14th Feb.

 

Students will walk down to the pool being supervised by their teachers.

 

Before School Swimming

On Friday 15th February, Years 3-6 students will participate in our House Swimming Carnival. Many of them will then be selected to represent our school at the District Swimming Carnival. To help the students train for those carnivals, our before school swimming programalso began this morning for children from Years 3-6. This will continue until Thursday 14th February (8.00 am - 8.30 am at the Area Indoor Pool). It is not a swimming training session but a lap swimming opportunity session.

 

It should only involve students from Years 3-6 who are capable of swimming at least 1 complete lap at a time. We encourage those students to come along and swim some laps. There will be a teacher from Puckapunyal Primary School at the Pool each morning to supervise.. Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Warne at school if you have any queries about any of our Swimming Programs.
