Survival Swimming!

Dear Families,

I messed up. I wsa supposed to forward the information on Survival Swimming to you, and near as I can tell I did not follow through. Anne had it planned for today and only 8 kids knew about it and came prepared. Anne has agreed to postpone Survival Swimming to next week, so more kids cane be prepared for this important safety lesson.

Here is the note from Anne that I was supposed to forward. So Sorry!

Please let parents know their child should bring clothing to jump in the pool with, and clothing to wear for the day. They will wear a swimsuit under their jumping in clothes. They should also have a bag big enough to accommodate wet clothes. The purpose is to teach them the skills of survival if they ever end up in the water in their clothes. All will be done within the comfort level of the child. Our purpose is not to scare them. We've done this several times and kids are usually nervous before, but love it after. 

So, Survival Swimming next week, Tuesday February 27.
