Swimming lessons for Rang 2 - Rang 6 will begin after the Easter holidays. We will travel by bus to and from Leisureland. We will leave the school at 11.30 and return at approximately 13.00
Please remember to pack a small swim bag with a towel, swimsuit, hat and goggles.
As Aquatics is a strand of the Primary Physical Education Curriculum, it is not optional, therefore, all children should attend swimming lessons, unless a medical condition precludes them from doing so.
We are aware that the provision of swimming lessons represents a considerable cost to parents/guardians, but we have made every effort to keep the cost as low as possible and the overall price offers excellent value.
Important Reminders:
- There will be no time for washing hair; páistí will rinse quickly and change to catch the bus. Ideally, long hair should be plaited or tied up securely in a bun on Wednesday mornings.
- For parents of Rang 2 (in particular), please practice putting on and taking off swim hats and goggles at home. While we will, of course, be on hand to assist, it is important for páistí to be as independent as possible.
- Páistí should bring a bigger snack than usual for their first break. Hot lunches will be ready for them upon our return to school at 1(ish)pm.
- If you haven’t already done so, please ensure payment has been made via the Eolas App.
