We will begin our swimming lessons at the Kilbirnie Aquatic Centre on Tuesday, 7th October. Lessons will run every Tuesday for eight weeks, finishing on Tuesday, 25th November.

Times and Travel:

• Pool time: 10.00 – 11.00 AM

• Bus: Depart school at 9.30 AM, return by 11.30 AM

Please ensure your child arrives on time for school on swimming days. If they miss the bus, they will remain at school and miss their lesson.

Swimming is part of the Physical Education Curriculum, and all students are expected to take part. If your child is unable to swim for medical reasons on a particular week, please email their teacher. The pool is indoors, heated, and lessons are taught by fully trained instructors.

Clothing and Belongings:

• Students wear their school uniform on swimming days.

• Togs may be worn underneath.

• All items must be clearly named, including: togs, goggles, caps, socks, shoes, underwear, shirts, shorts, jackets, bags, blouses, towels, and dresses.

• Please pack everything in a named plastic bag.

• Children should practise changing quickly, drying themselves, and dressing independently.
