Swimming 2013 - St Mary's School Pool

Room 6 PE for Term One -  Swimming 

 In Room 6 we have swimming on even numbered weeks. We get instruction on developing the skills necessary to be confident in the water and to perform the freestyle swimming stroke. We have had an excellent turn out of swimmers in the first couple of weeks with swimmer numbers in the 20s every day. Keep it up Room 6 children by remembering to bring your togs again this week as it is week 4 - an even numbered week.

Parents please not only remind your children but encourage them to self manage and remember by themselves to get their own togs ready.It does not matter if children can't swim yet as our school pool is shallow and we would just like to increase children's confidence in water.

After our 20-25 minutes of swimming instruction we get to have free time for 5 minutes before we have to get out. We are allowed to play with balls, flutter boards and flotation tubes, or we just play with each other.
