SWIMMING GUIDE AND DRESSCODEInformation for Parents/ GuardiansAll you need to know before your child goes swimming at Khadzi Swimmers:Please see below the guidelines for school swimming. These will ensure that lessons are delivered ina safe manner and also provide the best possible chance of improvement.SWIMMING KIT* Towel* Swimming costume (no bikinis (girls) and casual shorts(boys))* Goggles* Swimming cap* Medication if required* Sun-screen lotion
On swimming day please pack all kit into the bag. You might want to put a plastic carrier bag in the sports bag to wrap up wet items before putting them into the kit bag. Please do not dress your child in their swim wear underneath school clothes as this can be uncomfortable. Remind your child to bring home their swimming kit bag with the wet items for washing.Boys – Lycra style trunks, swim shorts that are above the knees. NO long Bermuda style shorts as these can restrict movement of the legs, add drag weighing the child down, prevent movement through the water and fall oof the hips when performing some skills.Girls - one piece swimsuits. NO bikinis as the can easily become undone or slip off when performing some skills.Googles - must be worn. When performing some activities such as water safety personal survival lesson they will be required to swim without googles. This is important so that children learn to become confident in the water without googles in an emergency situation.Swimming cap - The child’s head and/hair must always be covered. This protects hairstyles to last longer preventing them from water damage.NO Jewellery - ear rings/ nops. Only sports/ smart watches should not be worn inside the pool.Medication - if your child has any medical conditions, they must tell the swimming instructor who will let the lifeguards know. If they required to carry medication, it must be brought onto the poolside in a a safe bag with your child’s name clearly marked on it.Hygiene – all children should use toilets before swimming. If your child needs to use the toilet during the lesson, they must ask their teacher to leave the pool and report back to the same teacher when they return.Feet infections – if your child has athletes foot or veruccas, these will need to be treated, but this will not prevent them from swimming. Veruccas will need to be covered with a waterproof dressing and a swim sock. Make sure your child knows how to dry their feet properly especially between the toes, this will help to prevent athletes foot infection.Parental viewing – parents/ guardians are not allowed to view school swimming lessons as this is very distracting for the child. The school will invite you on a special occasion to come and watch. However, you are allowed to watch after their lesson or during their play time. Alternatively, we can arrange video recordings pictures if needs be.Parental / Family support- The school will gladly welcome offers of help with the school lessons.
