Year 4 swimming

A reminder that swimming lessons will take place the first week back after the Easter holidays.

Class 12 / Knowles will be swimming the first morning back so here are a few reminders in advance.

Your child will need to be in school for 8.30am at the latest on swimming days as we will set off from school at 8.40am. If your child is not in school for this time, they will miss the swimming lesson. We will open the doors from 8.15am.

The following information should answer queries you have. 

  • The DMBC and Swimming Pool policy states that children must wear either a one-piece swimming costume, trunks or above the knee shorts. 
  • If your child uses an inhaler, they must take it to the lesson. Inhalers should be clearly labelled and be available at the poolside. Should any child fail to take their inhaler they will not be allowed to swim.
  • If your child has a verruca they are still permitted to swim.
  • Long hair, fringes must be tied back off the face with a plain band. Scrunchies, slides and headbands are not permitted.
  • Your child will not be permitted to swim if wearing nail varnish/temporary tattoos/henna tattoos/ear-rings.
  • All jewellery must be removed for swimming lessons.
  • Your child may wear goggles if they wish.
