We are excited to welcome your child to the SOSD Learn to Swim program!  

Swimming has many health and wellness benefits:  

• SOSD Swim @ School is a fun, participation-based program which teaches swimming skills and increases water safety knowledge in students.

• Swimming strengthens every muscle group in the body, improves cardiovascular health, body control, and coordination.  Physical activity in general is a great way to relieve stress, improve mental health and boost self-confidence.

Program Overview 

• Your child will not receive a badge or report and they will not be assigned a level after completion of the program.   

• The program occurs during school hours and students will be bussed to and from the pool.  There is no fee for this program and registration is not required.   

• Students will be supported by school staff.  Grade 4 classrooms will wear their swimsuits under their clothing before arriving at the pool and will take all of their belongings and outdoor footwear to the pool deck.  

• Parents are welcome to attend and watch from the spectator/stands area.  Note that any photos taken must be of your child only and cannot include members of the public, pool staff or swim instructors.   

Thank you for your support.
