Calliope SS Swimming - Term 4
Swimming lessons will commence in the second week of Term 4, starting Monday 11 October 202 and concluding on Friday 10 December 2021. Students are encouraged to participate in all lessons, as these lessons align with the Australian Curriculum and contributes significantly to your child's life-long learning and water safety.
It is compulsory that students wear appropriate swimming attire - they must wear a swim shirt, togs and a swimming cap. Goggles are permissable; however, be aware, that some activities in the program expect the students to swim without the aid of goggles. For safety and hygiene reasons, jewellery is not permitted to be worn in the pool.
Some students will be anxious when it comes to swimming. It would be appreciated if you could find the time to casually question your child on their feelings about swimming. If you feel that there is something that the school should know, please inform the office before swimming starts.
Pupils will be placed in groups, according to their ability and will be taught by Mrs Betts.
