Information about the Distance Swim
Pupils swimming with us who can swim for over 1
hour, up to 3 hours continuously can
take part in our annual long distance swim.
This is aimed at pupils in Shark 1, 2 & 3, Water Safety
Bronze, Silver or Gold Challenge.
Those taking part should be on the poolside by 18:00 and report
to one of our teachers.
Our pupils must be on the poolside before 18:30 if they wish
to take part in the long distance swim.
Please remember that if your child has eaten a meal within one
hour of their start time
of the distance swim then please do not let them swim.
This is to save huge embarrassment if your child is violently
sick in the Pool.
So please remember to give your child a one hour rest period
before starting a distance Swim.
