A big welcome to all our new and returning families for 2010. Term 1 is an exciting and busy term with the school carnival season getting under way from the beginning of February along with all other activities starting off the school year.
Remember the layers of protection while enjoying the water with your family over the summer months. Nothing can replace constant supervision, a responsible adult must always be supervising from inside the pool fence. Teach your children never to swim alone, even in the backyard pool. Update your CPR skills. Regularily check the pool gate and fence for maintenance needs and of course teach your childern to swim.
Teaching your children to swim well is the greatest gift a parent can give their children. Childern need to be able to swim 400m freestyle with good style under 10 mins to be considered safer around water and be able to react predicably in an aquatic emergency.
