Stephen Bloxsom HPE
Swimming permission forms have been sent home for completion and will need to be returned by the end of Week 5. Preps do not swim in Term 1. All Year 1-6 students start swimming in Week 6 of this term. Swim permissions need to be returned to the class teacher in order to participate.
For swimming, students require the following:
Togs – BOYS: Traditional, Half Cut or Jammer style tight fitting
(No Board Shorts as we are not using surfboards or body boards.)
GIRLS: One piece from shoulder to bottom.
(No 2 piece please.)
Sun shirts – Long or short sleeve as desired. This can also be built into the togs.
Swimming Cap – Latex or Silicone to cover all hair on head. No cap, no swim.
Towel – To get dry afterwards
Spare underwear – Because an extra pair is always needed.
Bag – To put all items in.
Water Bottle – Because we sweat even though we don’t feel it in the pool water.
Optional items include:
Goggles – That fit swimmers face. No snorkels required.
Ear plugs or Ear bands – If using, student must be able to place in and/or over ears themselves.
Sunscreen – If students have own sunscreen that they would like to reapply before and/or after.
