Dear Parents/Caregivers

Once again Balmacewen Intermediate has decided to use Moana Pool’s ‘Swimsation’ programme for our swimming lessons this year. We feel this is more beneficial for your child’s swimming development.

Swimsation coaches will take a half hour session with each class at Moana Pool, four times during the next four weeks. The school swimming sports will be held at the conclusion of these sessions on Friday 13th March.

Room 13’s swimming sessions are as follows:

Session 1
Tuesday 10th Feb 11.30am – 12.00noon
Session 2
Wedneday 25th Feb 11.30am – 12.00noon
Session 3
Wednesday 4th March 11.30am- 12.00noon

Session 4
Monday 9th March 2.00-2.30noon

As a class we will be walking to and from the pool, and we require 2 adult helpers per class in order to meet safety requirements. Please complete the form below if you can assist with this.

Children will need to bring their togs and towel to school and they will walk down to the pool and return to school in their correct PE uniform. You will notice that some swimming sessions conclude at 2.45pm. Students will be able to walk home from the pool for these sessions if they have parental permission. (Please indicate on the form below).

The cost of swimming has increased slightly this year due to Swimsation and will be $3.25 a session. Please pay no later than one day before each swimming session. Or alternatively you can pay $13 before the first session.

Please complete the permission slip below.

Kind regards



Andrew Sloan
