Swimming Lessons

Just a reminder, swimming lessons commence on Monday 23^rd November and will be held at the Armadale Aquatic Centre (76 Champion Drive, Seville Grove) starting on Monday 23^rd November to Friday 4^th December.  Cost is $65 per student.

Students are to come to school in their bathers with their uniform over the top.  They will wear this to the pool.  Students need a separate bag to take to the pool with a towel, goggles etc.  This all needs to be clearly labelled, including the bag.  At the conclusion of the lesson, students will dry off before boarding the bus and will get changed into their school uniform upon returning to school.

It is advisable that students wear goggles whilst swimming as the chlorine in the pool may be very strong.  Students with long hair must have it tied up before arriving at the lessons.  It is not appropriate to wear jewellery or to bring expensive items to the swimming pools.

Students will not be able to purchase anything from the pool canteen.
