For the first 6 weeks in Term 2 Class 1-2 are doing swimming lessons with the Blue Mountains Aquatic Centre. The children have been both very excited as well as apprehensive about jumping in the water, blowing bubbles and using big arms at the pool. The children are well supported by the swimming tutors in the essential skill of being comfortable and safe in the water. Class 1-2 again rise to a new challenge!!
