Swimming for our life

Students in years one and two have started an exciting new swimming program at Balance, Mayfield. Each Friday for five weeks 44 stage one students travel by bus to the Balance fitness centre in Mayfield. The students break into smaller groups and are taught swimming survival and stroke correction by an enthusiastic group of qualified instructors. The facilities at Balance are first class and enclosed meaning nasty weather doesn't affect the lessons. Next term the older students will get their chance with two more blocks of lessons organised for stages two and three.

School Principal, Mr Partridge has been really impressed with the facilities and the lessons.

" Learning to swim and survival in the water is vitally important. Being able to practice and swim during the winter months really helps each child continue to build on water skills learnt during the warmer weather." Mr Partridge said.
