Junior Swimming Weeks 8 and 9

Jo Harris —

This is a reminder that the whole of the Junior school will be starting swimming lessons at Aquagym next Monday 5th December with the last day on Thursday 15th December. There is no swimming on the last day of the term.

All children need to come to school every day with their togs on under their school uniform. It is very important that all your child's clothing is named, as you can imagine when we have a whole Pod of children getting changed the school shirts, shorts, skorts etc all look the same! 

Every child will need a named swimming bag containing: 

  • a towel 
  • underwear 
  • swimming cap (a requirement from Aquagym - they do have a few spares at the pool) 
  • swimming goggles are highly recommended 

We find that the children get quite hungry with swimming so some extra food may be a good idea for the next two weeks.

 It is important that children are able to undress, dry, dress themselves and put their shoes on independently. If your child finds this challenging, please get some practice in over the next few days.
