Where to be

Each house will have an allocated area.  Students will come from there to the marshalling area for their races and then go back to the bank.  Please do not go anywhere else.  (That includes going to sit with family, the drive way area and the marshalling area).  Students may visit families during the lunch break but must stay in the areas around the pool. The main school is out of bounds from 9.15 onwards.  General toilet use is in the intermediate block and in the gym.  The changing rooms are for changing only.  Ladies’ toilets are for parents and guests, not students. Please make sure changing rooms are left in a tidy state.

What to eat and drink

Oranges and water will be available by the pool throughout the morning. You will be told when and where to line up for lunch.  This will be done in Houses. You will not be able to purchase drinks or snacks during the morning or afternoon sessions.  Have a good breakfast and bring healthy high-energy snacks for during the morning (e.g. banana, muesli bar, muffin).  You will be able to top up your drink bottles but must remember to bring one!

Crepe paper, tinsel, feathers, face or body paint (even if you aren't swimming), anything that has dyes that will run,  or have advertising on garments worn, writing on bodies, swimwear or caps
