Swimming Lessons

Growing Tree Early Education is exciting to announce that in Term 4 our Kindergarten children will start weekly swimming lessons at Lawnton Aquatic Centre.

The children will travel between the centre and pool in our new air-conditioned bus. The Kindy children will partake in a 30-minute weekly class with a fully qualified swim teacher.

Lawnton Aquatic Centre has partnered with Swimming Australia to bring a new and effective swimming and water safety program, focused on experiential and activity-based learning.

GOswim swimming lessons empower students to think, discuss and decide whilst having fun in and around water.

The curriculum covers seven areas of learning that are combined and presented as activities to enhance student development. Key learning areas include:

• Entries and exits
• Floating and sculling
• Movement, propulsion and stroke development
• Personal survival 
• Underwater skills
• Rescue and emergency
• Water safety knowledge
