Swimming starts for Year 4.

The swimming kit should consist of:

● Swimming costume: Rules stipulate that boys should wear traditional trunks, not the long, baggy Bermuda shorts type. Girls must wear full swimming costumes (one piece), not bikinis.

● All children need swimming hats.

● Towel.

● The wearing of goggles is discouraged for reasons of Safe Practice in School Sport as stated in the ‘Guidance notes for the use of swimming goggles in schools (December 2008)’. If you wish your child to wear goggles please click on the link below or alternatively copy and paste the link into your browser and complete the Google form:  Anson Goggle Consent 2025

● Jewellery is not permitted including earrings. Earrings must be removed – taping over is not

acceptable. If your child cannot remove their earrings, regrettably they will not be allowed to

swim.

Children with a verruca should be receiving treatment e.g. Bazuka. The swimming instructors occasionally carry out foot inspections, anyone with an untreated verruca is not allowed to swim. To prevent the spread of infection to others verruca socks can be worn.
