Upper Primary Aquatics

How will we learn about Aquatics online?

How will online learning make us better swimmers?

What activities can we do on land to make us better swimmers?

Welcome to Aquatics!

We will be focussing on how to improve water safety and swimming skills in times when there's limited or no access to the water. We believe this helps us be more safe in, on and around the water. This page is about that, so we hope you enjoy, and fully engage in, what you find here!

Swimming requires a good level of fitness.....

Are you fit and ready for swimming?!

The teachers have been very active and want to share with you ways that you can be active outside of the pool so you're ready for swimming. Have a look, choose the ones you like, and try them on your own at home. Or better, choose the ones in which you need to improve!
