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.
