6. Swimming Information – Highgrove’s Rules
Please remind your child to bring in their swimming costume or trunks, a towel and a swimming hat.
Coats need to be worn on swimming days, as it can become quite cold for the children when they leave the pool.
Please note that boys must have trunks that are no longer than mid-thigh length. Bermuda shorts are not allowed and they will be unable to swim if these shorts are worn.
Children will not be permitted to wear goggles until they have passed the National Curriculum. This is because the test up to and including the National Curriculum have to be achieved without the use of goggles. A letter would be needed for any medical conditions that would require a child to wear goggles.
Jewellery must not been worn in the swimming pool. It is recommended that earrings are not worn on swimming days so that they will not be lost or broken. If earrings can’t be taken out a headband is needed to be worn underneath the swimming hat. Any religious bracelets must be taken off during the swimming session or covered with waterproof tape, sweatband or bandage.
