All children should bring:

Please ensure that all items are clearly labelled (tracksuits, towels, swim hats, etc.).

To help the swimming sessions run smoothly, children should be encouraged to practise independence with:

  • changing in and out of swimwear
  • drying themselves
  • dressing independently
  • tying shoelaces
  • packing their belongings into their bags

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s class teacher via Aladdin.
