We are delighted to share with you that due to a successful funding application from our Parent Council to the New Cumnock Development Trust, every child in our school will receive a 5 week block of swimming at our local swimming pool, commencing on Monday 25th May 2026. Lessons will take place on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday over the 5 week block.
In addition to this, each child will receive a voucher for a free swim to use in the summer holidays. (Please note anyone attending without a voucher would be required to pay for entry and booking prior to entry would also be required.).
Please see the timetable below of when your child’s class will attend.
On your child’s swimming days they must bring in a bag:
- A towel
- Swimsuit/shorts
- Goggles (if they wish to use them)
Parent helpers to support the walking to and from the pool have been arranged.
We ask that if any parents/carers of our Primary 1 pupils wish to come to the pool to support with the changing of their OWN CHILD ONLY prior to or after the lesson is finished, please see the timings below. Parents/carers in attendance are asked to use the coloured changing rooms next to the pool rather than the communal changing rooms. The class teacher will also be on hand to support with the changing of our infant classes within the changing rooms.
Please note that there will not be any phone calls made home for missing swimming bags, as we are sure you can appreciate how busy our office is. Any child who does not have the appropriate kit will sit pool side with their class teacher during the 30 minute lesson.
A huge thank you again to the New Cumnock Development Trust for their generous donation, we know our families will be extremely grateful of their child receiving the opportunity of lessons at no cost to them. ❤
