Dear
Parents,
On the 12th April 2015 children from K2 will
be participating in the semester two swimming lessons as part of the Physical
Education program offered at TKS. These lessons will take place during the your
child’s two regular PE sessions each week for a total of four weeks.
Students
will continue to work on their swimming skills and water safety in small groups
of 5-6 students per certified swim instructor. Each group will be with
the same instructor throughout the unit (they are placed in leveled groups
based on skill progression). Instructional time is organized so that each
child can progress at his or her own pace and skill level. The program is
a progressive sequence of skills based on the American Red Crescent Aquatic
Program. This program focuses on water confidence, swimming skills and
stroke technique in addition to teaching children to be safe around water.
Once the lesson is over, the children will change back into their school
clothes in the locker room, and head back to the classes in ECC 2 building.

Please label everything.
Goggles
are best if they have a silicone rim around the eyes. Caps, goggles and
suits are available at the pool office for sale or may be purchased at any
sports / swim shop in Jeddah.
All other
equipment will be provided. Children, who have swimming in the first block at
8:15am, need to wear their swimming suits under their clothes and remember to
send their underclothes.
Please
note that if your child has diarrhea, a fever or yellow/green discharge from
the nose, they should not be at school and therefore they will not be swimming.
Please
feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Yours
sincerely
Erwin Agustina
PE & Swim Teacher
