Swimming Kit (Year 4 only)

The following information is adapted from Swim England and is followed by Stechford Leisure Centre.

Swimming is one of the most accessible and inclusive activities and everyone should feel confident and comfortable while in the water.

Over the years swimwear has come on leaps and bounds.  So have policies relating to guidance about what can be worn in pools.  It’s important that children feel confident and comfortable – but that they are also safe.

What to wear in the pool

On the day of their swimming lesson, pupils should come to school in P.E./sports clothing to enable them to change for swimming quickly and independently – this will give them more time in the swimming pool.

There are different styles of swimwear.  These include:

**EARRINGS**   If your child wears earrings there are two options on swimming days:

What not to wear in the pool

The important thing to note is that clothing shouldn’t be overly baggy or made of heavy materials such as denim or wool.  These can become water logged and heavy, making it difficult to swim or float.  It is also important to make sure pieces of clothing can not get stuck in filters or other parts of a pool, which makes lycra a good material to wear.

Clothing which shouldn’t be worn includes:

What else to bring

Other things that children MUST bring on swimming days include:

Second-hand Uniform

We have a number of items of second-hand school uniform available for parents.  At some of our events throughout the year, we have stalls that sell this for a nominal fee, but it is always available should parents need it.  If you are interested in second-hand school uniform, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Alternatively, speak to a member of staff who will gladly assist.

We welcome any donations of unwanted/discarded uniform.

Non-uniform Days

Throughout the school year, the last day of each half term will be a non-uniform day.  For end of half term non-uniform days, we request a £1 donation for your child to wear non-uniform.  The money raised on non-uniform days contributes to ‘school fund’.  This is a fund which is used to provide additional resources and activities that our regular school budget isn’t always able to cover.

The exception to this will be the last day of the Autumn term, when we break up for the Christmas holiday.  As this is usually our 'Christmas Party Day', no donation is requested.
