Dear Students and Parents,
The Elementary School P.E. classes (KG – G5) will start their 4-week swim unit on March 8th and continuing through the 1st of April. Students will need to come to school on all P.E. days prepared to participate with a swimming suit and towel. Swimming goggles are recommended and a swimming cap for anyone with shoulder length or longer hair is required.
Swimming and knowledge of basic water safety are important lifelong skills for everyone to learn not only for enjoyment of aquatic activities but to avoid accidents in and around the water. At the beginning or our swimming unit, all students will be screened to determine their ability level. Water Safety Instructors who are trained and certified will provide small group instruction in addition there will always be a lifeguard on duty for all P.E. classes.
A student who is ill and cannot swim for more than one class period should bring a note from the doctor indicating the reason as well as the expected date that the student can resume swimming. As usual, students medically excused from normal participation will remain with the P.E. class in order to benefit from observing the lesson.
Following are a few hints to make this P.E. swimming unit go smoothly:
- Students should not bring a bikini, fins, floatation devices, inflatable armbands or toys to class.
- It is best to apply sunscreen in the morning at home before getting dressed.
- If your child wears his/her swimsuit to school, remember to pack their underwear.
- A plastic bag will prevent the wet swim gear from soaking other school bag items.
- Write the student’s name on all items in waterproof marker including your towels. We cannot be responsible for students’ belongings but labeling will certainly help everyone.
Also please don’t hesitate to contact me at school or by email: fthaaf@lincoln.edu.gh if necessary.
Swimming and water safety is a part of our regular P.E. curriculum and is required for all P.E. students. Thanks in advance for your support and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Floor ten Haaf-Moore
Elementary School P.E. Teacher
