Senior School Swimming Sports - Southbridge Pool

This event will be held on Monday 24th February 2020, commencing at 10:00am - 2:15pm. This is a competition for all children from Year 5 - Year 8. Children from Ararira Springs will compete against children from Broadfield School and Ladbrooks School. To accomodate parent spectators and fit with the Lincoln Zone we will be holding the event at the Southbridge Pool on High Street, Southbridge. 

All children need to bring 2 towels (1 to keep warm in between events), swimwear and if they go to the pool in their togs they need to remember to pack underwear and correct uniform. The rule at the pool is that there is no underwear worn beneath togs. 

Transport to and from Southbridge Pool will be by bus. The bus will leave school at 9:15am and return after the event. Parents are very welcome to attend, they will however need to arrange their own transport. 

Teachers will talk to the children about appropriate events to enter for their age and ability. The dog paddle events are only for those children who are unable to swim a full length. Children will be competing in year group races, not age groups. 

Children can choose either widths, single length (non-competitive) or 2 lengths (competitive) or a mixture of 1 and 2 length races with only one race in each stroke. Width races are only for those who cannot swim a whole length. Children who are placed (1st, 2nd, 3rd) in the 2 length races will have the opportunity to represent Ararira Springs at the Lincoln Zone Swimming Sports to be held at Southbridge Pool on Monday 2nd March. 

Parent Help 

We do require parent help to ensure the smooth running of the day. Please email blair.cook@ararira.school.nz if you are able to assist.  Most of the tasks involve time keeping and recording results.
