Water Safety Week

Feb 13 2026
Written by Natalie Cameron

Swimming Week was all about not feeling bad about making mistakes in the pool, it was about learning new things.

— Saharah C. (6B)

Water Safety Week has once again been a highlight of the start of the year for our girls. The confidence, skills and enjoyment on display at the pool were wonderful to see. This important program could not have run so smoothly without the generous support of many of our parents. To our volunteers, whether you supported on one day or all five, we thank you greatly for your time and energy.
