The
Bulimba State School Amateur Swimming Club – The Bulimba DARTS - was formed to
give children the chance to experience competitive swimming in an informal
setting. It is run by a volunteer sub-committee of the P&C.
Swim
Club Nights are held on Thursday evenings during Term 1 and 4 in the school
pool. Gates open at 5.30pm (Races start at 6pm) and it concludes at
approximately 7.30pm. All current families and children from other schools in
the area are welcome, up to year 6.
Children
will learn new skills such as participating in a group activity, learning to
win and lose with grace, improving their own swimming through watching and
being challenged by others, and mixing with older and younger children. They
will learn how to be marshalled for a race, listen for their lane allocation,
how to dive and turn, and how to start and finish a race properly.
Our
Swim Club encourages participation and self-improvement for swimmers of all
abilities. We include assisted races for early swimmers, 25m races (all
strokes), 50m races (all strokes) and a Race Special (100m) every week.
The
Darts Swim Club exists to supplement the swimming program offered by the school
by providing opportunities for competition at a range of levels. Its objectives
are:
To
provide opportunities for children to grow and develop, physically, mentally
and emotionally through the sport of swimming
To
provide competitive opportunities to swimmers in a positive, encouraging
environment
To
support the school in its health and physical education programs
Support
the P&C Association in fostering the well-being of Bulimba State School
This
is OUR club, and as such volunteers and helpers are the only way to make this
club work. We value your suggestions for improvement, your offer of help and
your attendance and participation.
