Swimming and Water Safety
Our heated outdoor pool
We are lucky enough to have our own outdoor heated swimming pool on site meaning that all children, from Reception to year 6, have weekly swimming lessons from Easter to October, weather depending. Children are taught by a qualified swimming instructor with a class teaching assistant poolside to support.
Swimming results
What do children need for their swimming lessons?
- All children are required to wear swimming hats as it prevents damage to filters in the pool.
- Goggles are allowed as they make the swimmer more comfortable in the water.
- Swimming trunks, briefs or all in one swimming suits are appropriate. Loose or baggy shorts are not allowed. Board shorts or long legged shorts are not allowed. See below for what is permitted
- Or one piece swimming costume. No bikinis allowed.
- Flip Flops are recommended for use poolside but not essential and for moving from their changing area to the pool. This will prevent their school shoes from getting wet and stop them hurting their feet
- A towel for drying is also essential.
Please ensure all items are named clearly.
