Swimming carnival

Carnival commences at 9:40am and concludes at approximately 2:30pm.

$14

Staff are trained in CPR and Emergency Care and a pool lifeguard will be on site.

This is a whole school event with all students and teachers attending.

Students will be travelling by bus.

Parents and family members are welcome to attend the carnival. As this is an outdoor event, family and friends are welcome to bring a picnic blanket/lunch and enjoy the day. The spectator entry fee is $3.00. This is payable on the day at the venue.

 A canteen is available at the pool for snack food only and children will have limited access to this but still may bring a small amount of money if they wish.

The carnival will consist of a competitive freestyle 100m race, competitive 50m races in all strokes and structured novelty events. Please indicate your child’s swimming ability on the attached permission slip and the events they would like to compete in.

Before the commencement of the carnival, all students who have indicated a swimming strength of 50m will undertake a swimming assessment to ensure they can adequately enter and exit the water and confidently swim the identified distance. Students who are identified as non-swimmers or are unable to confidently swim 25m in the assessment, will participate in structured novelty events. All students will be given a coloured wristband to identify their swimming ability. Alternative activities for non-swimmers will be grassed based activities.

Please return the attached permission slip, indicating your child’s swimming ability, and medical form to the school office. If your child is not participating, please still indicate this on the note and return to the office to assist us in finalising numbers.
