Swimming Lessons
Swimming lessons take place from the Summer Term through to the October half-term holiday. We ask parents and carers for a small voluntary contribution towards the cost of tuition and the running of the pool. These costs are subsidised by the school.
Swimming Requirements
When your child is swimming, please ensure the following:
-
Swimming hats must be worn at all times.
-
Boys should wear swimming trunks and girls should wear a one-piece swimming costume. Loose-fitting shorts, bikinis and two-piece swimsuits are not permitted.
-
On swimming days, children should bathe or shower before attending school if possible. Please do not apply sun cream or deodorant before swimming.
-
Children with verrucas or warts must wear swim socks. Gel treatments are not acceptable.
-
If your child has experienced sickness or diarrhoea, they should not swim for 48 hours after symptoms have stopped.
-
Jewellery must not be worn in the pool. Earrings should be removed before swimming lessons.
Attendance
Swimming lessons form part of the National Curriculum and all pupils are expected to participate. If your child is unable to take part for a medical reason, please provide a written note to the swimming teacher. Without written notification, pupils will be expected to participate in the lesson.
Thank you for your continued support.
