Jennifer,


You mean its not compulsory? But must write in to be excused la?

Regards

I believe the swimsafe prog is compulsory. We wrote in to be excused, citing medical reasons.

[comfy]

If I remembered correctly, last year the swimsafe prog coincided with gep screening test. I think quite a no of parents requested to be opted out of this prog due to the screening test. So in the end, they just shortened the swimsafe prog duration by excluding the test date.

This time round, they must have learnt their lesson as the swimsafe prog is planned after gep screening test, selection test & exam are over.

In My Gal's time, we just submit a ....

Now I'm wondering whether attending a PH BBQ was a good thing or not. :scratchhead: Isn't it better to remain face-less? Hahaha. Mark, I shouldn't have said hello just now hor :evil:

The P3s will be having Swimsafer programme this week till 16th Nov. May I know whether any parents ever volunteered in this programme before? My understanding is the kids will be grouped according to the awards they had attained from external swim classes.


What do the instructors do if the kid had already attained the Gold/Gold Star award?

I'll be at the pool to keep an eye on the kids... too many kids, too few adults, i worry....

I wonder if this swimming program is the same compulsory modular cca which my son attended when he was in p3. The classes were split into 2 groups, one went to Bukit batok swimming complex while the other went to Clementi. Kids were split into many small groups - can swim well, swim a little, cannot swim at all.

my son went last yr and it seemed not organized. he already had a bronze award yet they put him in the beginner category and in the end he only got the basic award and he said he did not learn anything. anyway, i let him go just for the fun of it.

Same thing happen to my girl who had bronze.
Her friend already had silver but also put in beginner group.
Kids are still kids, they still like the lessons.

Yes, the kids are so looking forward to the Swimsafer programme.

I'll be there too. Is your schedule the same as her class's? First and last days at Clementi pool, the rest of the days at BB pool? I wonder how chaotic it'll be like.

I am sure her friend preferred to be placed together with her good friends, not according to the award. It's afterall having fun together.
