Year 1 – 6 Swimming Lessons

Kia ora all,

I trust you have enjoyed your holiday break and will be able to enjoy the long weekend.
Starting on Monday all year 1-6 students start their swimming programme at the Graham Condon Recreation Centre, with the use of the swimming instructors trained in teaching water skills, safety skills and swimming.

When students arrive at school next term they will need to have their named swimming gear in a sperate bag with them. Please ensure this (and their uniform) is well named. If Year 1-6 students would find it easier they may wear their PE unform for the first 2 weeks of term as this is often easier for getting changed at the pool.

Each child will need a waterproof bag to store their swimming togs, towel, and comb. We recommend students wearing googles and some may prefer to use a cap as well. Many parents find the zip up supermarket bags are idea for carrying wet swimming gear.

Students are travelling in class groups by bus and the swimming timetable is as below. Parents are most welcome to watch their children make progress in their swimming lessons. The scheduled swimming times Monday to Friday in Weeks 1 and 2 are as follows:

K6 and H2 9:30-9:55
K5 and H1 10:00-10:25
K2 and K3 10:30-10:55
K1 and K4 11:00-11:55
