Getting ready for Summer
It is important to continue to develop and practice the skills learnt in the program throughout winter, so the knowledge gained is not lost due to long periods of inactivity in the pool. The pools at Splash are heated to a comfortable 31 degrees, so swimming all year round is not only practical but also recommended.
What to bring:
Towels for your child and yourself (we ask all parents and carers who will join their child in the water to wear a rash shirt or loose-fitting tshirt to help with safety drills)
Dry clothes to change into after the lesson
Appropriate swimwear, SwimSure nappy from your welcome membership pack, as well as a disposable swim nappy. No cloth nappies please.
Caps and Goggles
We encourage the children to achieve skills with and without goggles. Goggles encourage children to open their eyes under the water and keep their faces under for a longer period, however we want to encourage children to be comfortable in the water without goggles. Wearing caps is also a requirement for all children over the age of three, this not only keeps hair out of the students’ faces, but also keeps the pool water clean.
