Swimming Starts November 4

                                                                                                October 28, 2014

            On Tuesday, November 4, your daughter will begin the swimming unit of her Physical Education class.  The classes will be held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday through November 14.  If there is a deviation from the schedule, the girls will be notified.

            Swimming is a wonderful fall activity; however, there are a few pointers to remember.  Your daughter should come to school wearing a one-piece swimsuit under her school clothes.  She should bring a swimming bag in which she stores her underwear (in a plastic, Ziploc bag, please), towel, swim cap, goggles, hairbrush, and a healthy snack, as well as anything else she may need. This next item may not apply because of the current warm weather, but tights are a troublesome piece of clothing to put on after being in the pool, so it is recommended that they not be worn on swimming days.

            This year the girls will swim from 8:00-8:45. Upon arrival at school, the girls can drop their backpacks in the classroom, then go to the playground, as usual.  When they are dismissed from the playground, the class will walk to the Kenny Center for swimming.  We are looking forward to a wonderful two weeks of swimming!
