Swimming Started Today

At Isleworth School we think swimming is a key skill for our NZ children to have. We are so lucky to have a heated swimming pool at Isleworth, and wonderful teachers who know how to teach swimming. Term 4 Swimming starts on Monday 3rd November and runs until the end of term. Please remember your swimming gear everyday (goggles are always handy):)

We swim for the first time tomorrow.
