Our students in years 3-6 have made a splash into term 2, participating in our Swimming and Water Safety program at Oceana Pool. Mr Gordon and Mr Pennicott were very impressed with the level of enthusiasm and participation our students showed - as well as remembering to bring their bathers and towel each day!

The first week focused on developing water skills; floating, blowing bubbles in the water and encouraging confidence in the pool.

The focus in week 2 was on survival swimming techniques. Students practised being safe while helping someone else in distress in the water, what to do (or not do!) if we fall in with our clothes on and how life jackets work.
