As part of our Health and Physical Education program, the children are encouraged to attend a week of swimming at our local centre. This year we went to the newly completed Marion Swimming Centre where the recent trials for the Olympics were held. Our lessons were 45 minutes long and all children whether competent swimmers or not were given the opportunity to gain extra skills and learn very important strategies when in water. All children were taught what to do when in danger and how to grab onto ropes or floats when needing to be pulled out of the water. The instructors all did a fantastic job and the children thoroughly enjoyed their lessons and were challenged and encouraged the whole time.

Please watch the slideshow of our time at the pool and see all the great things the children did.

Here is a movie of our last day at the pool. We had such a fun time!
