KG PE Swimming Lessons
Dear GIS parents,
Our KG Students will start Swimming in certain PE Lessons as of Sunday 12th April (Day 2 in our
cycle). This format for PE lessons will run until the end of the academic year. KG students will
now have 2 swimming lessons and 2 PE lessons during the 8 day cycle. Please see the timetable
for all classes on page 2.
Within these lessons we will expand on the learning from Term 1, with our main focus still on
water safety and water confidence. Students will also have the opportunity to focus on stroke
technique, body position and their breathing techniques.
Please see a list below of what your child must bring with them to school for their swimming
lessons:

Goggles
Swimsuit (girls one piece swimsuit only please)
Towel
Sandals / flip flops
Plastic Bag for wet items
Dressing Gown some students may wish this to wear from changing to poolside
Swim Cap we would recommend that all students bring a swim cap, especially girls as this protects
hair and also allows for quicker changing as there is no wet hair at the end of the lesson

Please remember to label all swimming costumes and towels, to assist us to return lost items.
It is very important to keep PE Staff informed of any health problems or health conditions. Students
need to bring a written note from a doctor to inform their PE teacher if they are unable to participate
in swimming. Otherwise, if a child is in school, they should be well enough to participate in swimming.

Please feel free to contact the PE Department if you any questions related to the swimming
lessons in PE.
Kind Regards,
Evan Bryceland
Head of PE
