Every Friday we head off to Northcote Pool for swimming lessons. The kids are graded by a test on the first visit, although some are moved up or down a level by the instructors as time goes by. The instructors are fully qualified and all the teachers do is supervise the bus and the change rooms. HArd work by anyone's standards.
Mostly the kids have a lot of fun, despite the odd lost sock or towel, and even on one occasion - a pair of knickers!
The photo collage shows a few images from last week when the instructors mixed it up a bit with water slides, underwater adventure and some life jacket drills.
The swimming program will continue into next term for one week, and then interschool sport will start.
