Umina school holds swimming carnival on Friday

Umina Beach Public School's swimming carnival will be held on Friday, February 12, at the Peninsula Leisure Centre, without parents or carers permitted to attend.

"All primary children are expected to attend this event, as well as Year 2 students who turn eight this year and are competent 50m swimmers," said relieving principal Mr Chad Tsakissiris.

"Year 2 students who are not competing in swimming events will remain at school," he said.

"The age group for events is the age your child is turning this year, ie students turning 10 in 2021 will compete in the Under-10s' events.

"All children will be travelling by bus to and from the pool.

"The cost of the bus plus pool entry is $8 per child."

Online entries close on Wednesday, February 10.

"Students must wear sport shorts and appropriate house colour T-shirt.

"They will need to bring their swimming costume, towel, school hat, recess, lunch and two drinks.

"There will be no access to the pool kiosk this year."
