Competition Days: (Held at GEIS Swimming Pool) Year 8s: Monday 15th March (9.30am-2.30pm) Year 7s: Wednesday 17th March (9.30am-2.30pm)

Every child is EXPECTED to participate, we have swimming races catered for varying abilities so that everyone can participate. If students are unable to participate due to religious reasons or illness, they are expected to bring a note to school.

Please note that for our swimming sports and swimming sessions during PE, we would like all the girls to wear either a tankini or a one piece swim suit

Students are not permitted to wear their PE gear shorts for swimming sessions.

Over the next 6 weeks during PE every student will be graded on their ability in 3 swimming strokes:

Freestyle, Breaststroke and Backstroke.

Grade A = able to swim 2 lengths confidently

Grade B = able to swim 1 length confidently

Grade C = able to participate and give it a go
