If you are not in swimming lessons, you will need to contact one of the local pools to see if you can book in to get this done. We will also be holding 2 Pool Proficiency day at Kingscliff TRAC Pool on Sunday 19th September. We encourage parents to get the forms completed prior to these dates so as to limit numbers of people at the pool.
