What to bring: |
Togs (girls – 1-piece swimmers), towel, goggles, and thongs or sandals. A bathing cap will be provided. Students are discouraged from wearing rash/sun shirts. These restrict the swimmer’s movement and weigh them down in the water.
|
|
What to wear: |
Students are to wear their sports uniform each day during swim week, with their normal joggers. Students will change into their togs and sandals or thongs at school prior to departure to the pool. They will carry their towel, goggles, and cap to and from the pool. Upon return to school, students will change back into their school uniform.
|
|
Swimming Groups: |
Students will initially be placed into the same swimming group as per the final swimming lesson in Term 1 2025. All students will be reassessed (or assessed for the first time if a new student to OLOL) during the first lesson by the Glennie coaches, and if required, changed to another group. |

We respectfully ask parents and other spectators to refrain from attending swimming lessons. It is important that the children are focused on their instructor and what they need to do in the pool. We appreciate your support.
Representative Sport—Toowoomba & Darling Downs Teams
Throughout the course of the year Toowoomba Primary School Sport and Darling Downs School Sport offer trials to eligible students for a variety of team and individual sports. Strict nomination requirements apply, and it is at the sole discretion of the school to decide whether to nominate individual students. OLOL will also host trials for sports which have multiple students seeking to nominate to attend the TPSS or DDSS trials. All trials will be advertised by email to parents, on assembly and in PE lessons, and posted on the Sports Board outside the Hall. The trials listed below are either yet to be advertised or have been advertised and the nomination window is still open.

Concerns and Questions
If you have any future questions or concerns, always feel free to contact me. I am very keen to ensure we maintain a high level of communication and give every possible opportunity for students to play, enjoy, and learn in a friendly, safe, positive, and inclusive environment. Please note that I do not work at OLOL on Mondays except for occasional Sporting School lessons, however I am still available to be contacted to ensure I can support and assist in any way possible
