Pigerne skal have badedragt på og drengene badeshorts.
Badetøjet skal helst sidde tæt – brug hellere badebukser end badeshorts.
Badeshorts (med løse ben) giver mere modstand og gør det sværere at bevæge sig rundt i vandet. Vi oplever desuden flere børn der har problemer med at få dem til at sidde stramt nok, så de ikke glider ned når de sparker fra kanten.
Alle børn bedes medbringe svømmebriller. Skriv evt. navn på med en sprittusch.
Efterladte svømmebriller opbevares i vores redskabsrum.
Svømmehallen har badevinger og bælter, der kan lånes.
Blebørn
Det er et krav fra svømmehallens side, at din baby er iklædt Happy Nappy og badeble, når I er i vandet.
Både Happy Nappy og badeble kan købes i svømmehallen.
Vi anbefaler klart brug af svømmebriller. Dels er det praktisk at bedre kunne orientere sig under vandet, og dels beskytter det øjnene mod kloren, der kan irritere slimhinderne i øjet efter svømningen.
Især pigerne bruger nogle gange meget tid og energi på at feje håret væk fra ansigtet når de har hoppet rundt i bassinet, eller svømmet en tur. Faktisk er det nogle gange så slemt at det fjerner fokus fra det de egentlig skal tænke på.
Vi anbefaler at man enten bruger en badehætte eller sætter håret op med elastikker. De kvindelige undervisere har stor erfaring med hvordan man nemmest holder styr på sit hår – så spørg endelig hvis I er i tvivl.
Husk at gå i bad - både før og efter
Alle, der skal i vandet, skal vaske sig inden – og igen efter eventuelle toiletbesøg. Færre bakterier i vandet reducerer de kemikalier der bruges til at rense vandet og vil give en bedre svømmeoplevelse.
Vi vil i øvrigt gerne minde om at mobiltelefoner og andre apparater med foto/video-funktion skal holdes i taskerne i omklædningsrummene.
Forældrefri Kant
Du kan som forældre sidde i hallen og kigge på den første gang dit barn er til svømning. Har dit barn brug for, at du er der flere gange (indkørselsperiode), så kan du aftale det med den pågældende træner.
Læs mere om vores politk for forældre i hallen her.
Omklædning:
Når dit barn fylder 7 år skal han/hun bade og klæde om i det respektive køns omklædningsrum. Børn under 6 år kan, sammen med en forælder, godt klæde om i det modsatte køns omklædningsrum.
Brug tiden på at lære dem at klare sig selv.
Sørg for at dit barn har tisset af inden undervisningen.
Børn, der skal på toilettet i undervisningstiden vil blive fulgt af en hjælpetræner. Men der skal bades igen efter toiletbesøget, inden barnet igen kan gå tilbage til undervisningen.
Kigge-på-uger:
Kigge-på-uger er nogle få udvalgte uger, hvor I som forældre kan komme og se hvad jeres børn har lært i løbet af sæsonen.
Det foregår i den almindelige undervisningstid, hvor forældre bydes ind i hallen for at følge undervisningen.
Der vil blive infomeret omkring "kigge-på-uger" her på hjemmesiden.
Sygdom/afbud:
Vi krydser de børn af, der kommer. Det er ikke nødvendigt at melde afbud, hvis du er blevet forhindret i at komme.
To ensure the best conditions for learning to swim, we recommend the following:
Swimwear & Equipment
Girls should wear swimsuits and boys should wear swim shorts.
The swimwear should fit snugly – it's better to wear swim trunks than swim shorts.
Swim shorts (with loose legs) create more resistance and make it harder to move around in the water.
We also find that many children have problems getting them to fit tightly enough so they don't slide down when pushing off from the edge.
All children are asked to bring swimming goggles. You can write their name on them with a permanent marker if you'd like.
Left-behind swimming goggles are stored in our equipment room.
The swimming pool has swimming wings and belts that can be borrowed.
Diapered Children
The swimming pool requires that your baby wears a Happy Nappy and a swim diaper when you are in the water.
Both Happy Nappy and swim diapers can be purchased at the swimming pool.
Swimming Goggles
We strongly recommend the use of swimming goggles. Not only are they practical for better underwater orientation, but they also protect the eyes from the chlorine, which can irritate the mucous membranes in the eyes after swimming.
Tie Up Long Hair
Especially girls sometimes spend a lot of time and energy brushing their hair away from their faces after jumping around in the pool or taking a swim. Sometimes it's so distracting that it takes their focus away from what they're supposed to be doing.
We recommend either wearing a swimming cap or tying up the hair with elastic bands. The female instructors have a lot of experience on how best to manage hair – so please ask if you're in doubt.
Remember to Shower - Both Before and After
Everyone who enters the water must wash beforehand – and again after any restroom visits. Fewer bacteria in the water reduce the chemicals used to clean it, providing a better swimming experience.
No Devices with Camera Functions in the Changing Rooms
We'd also like to remind you that mobile phones and other devices with photo/video functions should be kept in bags in the changing rooms.
Parents-Free Edge
As a parent, you can sit in the hall and watch the first time your child swims. If your child needs you there more often (initial period), you can discuss it with the relevant coach.
Read more about our policy for parents in the hall here.
Changing
When your child turns 7, they should bathe and change in the respective gender's changing room. Children under 6 can, with a parent, change in the opposite gender's changing room.
Take the time to teach them to manage on their own.
Ensure your child has used the restroom before the lesson.
Children needing to use the restroom during lesson time will be accompanied by a helper coach. But they'll need to bathe again after the restroom visit before returning to the lesson.
"Watch Weeks":
"Watch Weeks" are a few selected weeks where parents can come and see what their children have learned during the season.
It takes place during regular lesson hours, where parents are invited into the hall to follow the lesson.
Information about "Watch Weeks" will be provided on the website.
Illness/Absence:
We mark the children who attend. It's not necessary to report absence if you're unable to attend."
