Swimming for Year 4

Friday 24th February2017

Dear Parents,

SWIMMING FOR YEAR 4

Next term your child will have the opportunity of swimming lessons at the new Handy Cross Pool in High Wycombe. Learning to swim is statutory in the National Curriculum and helps prevent death from drowning. Lessons will take place on Tuesdays afternoons for 10 weeks on the following dates:

4B - 17th & 24th April, 1st & 8th May, 5th June 2018

4A -12th, 19th 26th June & 3rd & 17th July 2018

Please ensure your child brings an appropriate costume for swimming that conforms to safety, cultural and teaching requirements. It is important that the costume is relatively tight fitting to minimise the effect of drag that water logged clothing can create. Swimming hats must be worn for long hair and all jewellery removed. (This includes earrings).

Pupils will not be excluded from swimming because of verrucae. Please use an over the counter treatments e.g.Bazukato provide a layer of protection over the verrucae.

We appreciate that children who swim frequently or whose eyes are susceptible to irritation may prefer to wear goggles. If that is the case please complete the form attached. No goggles may be worn without the signed form.

Manor Farm Junior School will be paying for the lessons but we are asking for a voluntary contribution of £10.00 towards the cost of the coaches. You can pay by cash, cheque or Parent Pay.

I do hope that your child thoroughly enjoys what I’m sure will be a most worthwhile experience.

Best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Sierant
