SCHOOL SWIMMING SCHEME
Message to Parents
The Department of Education and Training School Swimming Scheme is an intensive learn to swim
program, which develops water confidence and provides students with basic skills in water safety and
survival. Year 2 at Wideview have the opportunity to attend this scheme in Term 3. The scheme caters
for all levels of swimmers and non-swimmers.
The Scheme is conducted over ten days. Each daily lesson is 40 minutes of in-pool instruction plus
an additional 5 minute water safety theory lesson, which will take place before each lesson.
Instruction will take place at Hornsby Aquatic Centre.
Children will catch the bus daily to and from Hornsby Aquatic Centre.
The Scheme will continue daily for 10 days during week 8 & 9 of Term 3 (Monday 7th to Friday 18th
September 2015).
The total cost for the 10 day scheme is $95.00. Payment is required on or before Monday the 31st
August 2015. There are only 60 positions available this year and 67 students. The first 60 paid

School Instructors.
Daily Arrangements:

Each child should wear their swimmers underneath their winter school uniform. Girls can wear
their one-piece swimming costume rolled down at the waist to make toileting easier (please
ensure underwear is brought with them to change into after swimming)


Rash shirts are optional. Goggles are optional. Please note students will be assessed during the
School Swimming Scheme for all water safety skills without wearing goggles.
