Swimming Program

SWIMMING PROGRAM
Each year a swimming program for children in years Foundation to 6 is organised by the school.  Qualified Aqua Swim Instructors at the Aquarena Centre teach small groups of children swimming and survival skills.  All children are encouraged to be part of this excellent program.  Times for swimming instruction are notified well in advance to enable parents to budget for the instruction costs incurred. 

​Year 3-6’s do an intensive swimming program at Aquarena. We learnt backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke and sidestroke.

We wear life jackets and we bring clothes to wear in the pool for survival practice. Some of the groups are lucky to go outside to practise in the 50 metre pool. They did step in entries, dives and swimming laps in preparation for the swimming carnival, the water was much colder than the indoor pool!

​On the last day the swimming teachers gave us a ‘funday.’ We all had a very fun day and every one was happy.
