Swim team has started for Grades 4 to 6! All are welcome as long as a permission form to practice/tryout has been filled out. The swim team practices for a swim meet which is a tournament between several schools.
Practices will be held every Tuesday and Thursday at lunch. The students swim from 11:45am – 12:15pm and then have time to eat their lunch. We understand that this overlaps with choir and for those affected, they are welcome to only attend practices once a week.
For the swim meet in April at the Harbord Collegiate Institute school downtown, the final team will be chosen based on the students’ speed/times in the various events. We will be recording times on a regular basis at practice to determine who will represent Allenby. For those chosen, permission forms and information will be sent out closer to the date. Unfortunately, there are caps on the number of swimmers we can take for the different events, therefore not all swimmers will be taken to the meet.
If your child needs a permission form, they can also see us in Room 113 or the pool office. If you have any questions, you may email us at dusan.ignjatovic@tdsb.on.ca and sachi.banerjee@tdsb.on.ca.
