Swimming Prelims (Years 4-8)
Swimming Prelims will be held on Monday 13 February in the pool at Jellie Park Recreation and Sports Centre. The students will be transported to and from the venue by bus.
Only Year 4 parents are permitted to attend this event. This is due to Year 4 Championship Finals being held at Prelims and not at Swimming Sports Day (Monday 20 February) due to venue restrictions.
Students will compete at the below times:
Year 4 9.45am–10.45am
Years 5–6 10.45am–12.00pm
Year 7 12.00pm–1.30pm
Year 8 1.30pm–3.00pm
Students will need to wear their PE gear and tracksuits to school, with their togs underneath. All children will require: towel, snacks, water bottles, and suitable footwear for the pool.
The preference is for blue or black swimming togs for girls, and blue or black speedos or skins (not board shorts) for boys.
The aim of the prelims is to place the students into races that are appropriate to their abilities. It is vital that the children are exposed to opportunities to practice swim safety and confidence in the water.
More information will follow for the actual Swimming Sports which will be held on Monday 20 February.
