Year 3 Swimming Information.

Dear Parents,

 

Swimming lessons for Year 3 children begin on Monday 11^th September. They will take place at Two Riversmeet Leisure Centre, on the dates listed below. The children are transported to and from the centre on a private coach.

 

The children must arrive at school promptly as 3BR leave school at 8.45am and 3TN at 9:15am. Both classes will be back at school by 11:00am.

In the first session the children will be grouped according to their swimming ability. Each week they will then be taught in groups by professional coaches, according to the National Curriculum requirements.

 

The children will require a one-piece swimming costume or trunks, a towel, a swimming cap (for any hair that is long enough to be tied up) and goggles. Please can the children bring their swimming kit in a suitable named bag and wear their normal uniform to school. Any long hair must be tied up and should be covered with a swimming cap. No earrings should be worn on a Monday. It is helpful if the children can already be wearing their costume under their uniform, with underwear in their swimming bag as this helps with quicker changing!

 

The children are given 10 lessons of 35 – 40 minutes each.  The cost for swimming in the is £30.00This contribution can be paid on line using ParentMail and allows parents to pay in varying amounts or instalments if you prefer during the term, building up to the £30 total. You can also pay by cash or cheque in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and class clearly marked, any cheques to be made payable to Mudeford Junior School.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
