Swimming

The Grade 3–6 swimming program will be held at the Burnie Aquatic Centre from Monday, 24th February, to Friday, 7th March 2025.

Students will travel by bus to and from the pool in their class groups. Please ensure your child brings a substantial packed lunch on these days, as access to the pool canteen will not be available.

As swimming is part of the HPE curriculum, it is important that all children participate. Please ensure you have completed your child's permission form on Compass to allow them to take part.

Parents are welcome to attend their child’s lesson; however, due to strict guidelines, there will be no parent access to the change rooms.

  • Grade 3 – 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM

  • Grade 4 – 10:50 AM – 11:30 AM

  • Grade 5 – 11:40 AM – 12:25 PM

This year, we will not be holding a swimming carnival due to limited availability of dates. Instead, Burnie Aquatic Centre swimming instructors and Miss Kayla McNamara will conduct swimming trials on Wednesday 26th February. These trials will help us select our 2025 NW swimming team.

The NW Swimming Carnival will be held at the Burnie Aquatic Centre on Tuesday, 11th March. Students selected for the NW team will be notified on Wednesday, 26th February, with more information to follow.
