In order to better meet the needs of students, swimming will be taught as a unit. Students will swim twice a week for 5-6 weeks. We believe that by offering swimming as a unit, it will provide better continuity for the students and allow them to grow and become better swimmers.
We will be using the Austswim program from Western Australia to help support our swimmers. This program is based on individual need. The goals of the swim program are to encourage the development of the student’s confidence in the water, increase students awareness and understanding of the need for water safety and to encourage the development of swimming strokes and water skills. Students will receive a swim report with the skills they have mastered at the end of term.
Pak Erif Fathoni and myself, along with the lifeguards are all on deck to keep your children safe at the pool.
On days that your child has swimming, please remember to pack:
swim costume (no bikinis please)
goggles
towel
sun screen
If it is raining (and it will rain) swimming will be cancelled and a P.E. class will be in it's place. Please be prepared for this by wearing proper sport trainers.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at through the school office.

They will learn to improve buoyancy, water confidence, and water safety. Students will learn all of the competition swim strokes as well as survival swim strokes.
