Newsle er 1 2015 Jordan’s Cambodia Trip On December the 20th I set out on a solo, 3 week journey/mission to Cambodia. I met up with 10 other likeminded university students from countries all over the world. From Phom Pehn we caught a 6 hour shu le bus and a 2 hour boat ride to a remote island oﬀ the south coast of Cambodia – called Koh Rong, with a popula on of 150 people. For 3 weeks we lived like locals – ea ng rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner! sleeping in mosquito nets, no access to electricity, wifi or mobile coverage and literally no bathroom facili es. Experiencing their way of life wasn’t the driving reason behind me being there. I went there to work and make a diﬀerence. Welcome to 2015 Swimming—It is great to see so many familiar faces return to swimming. We would like to welcome all our new students star ng this term. Term 1 is always a very busy, but exci ng one, filled with fun and many personal goals being met. We look forward to a successful year ahead.” Term 1 Dates:
In the 3 weeks I was there I helped to teach the locals about looking a er and suppor ng themselves. During the day we spent me building water catchments for the drier months, scuba dived daily to the reef and cleaned it up to help increase the fish popula on and teach them about recycling. I par cularly enjoyed the evenings when we spent our me teaching the local children how to speak English.

selves in the water? Have you experienced the frustra on and diﬃculty of learning a new stroke while your hair is constantly in your face and eyes? This is what your children are feeling when they are wearing board shorts, rash tops or not wearing a swim cap ( especially with long hair ). We all want the best possible opportunity for your child to learn to swim, so please consider what swimwear they are wearing during their lesson. Also, it is Blue Dolphin policy that ALL children are to wear a swim cap. If you don’t have one, they can be pur‐
chased from our recep on area in various colours and styles to comply with our policy. Processes Are Changing In an eﬀort to improve eﬃciency while also helping the environment we are transforming our opera ons to a paperless system rather than hold on to every sheet of paper. Recently, we have upgraded our computer sys‐
tem allowing us to deliver documents electronically. We believe this new process will reduce errors, reduce waste and drama cally enhance our customer service. In the future you will receive your tax invoice, booking confirma on and correspondence via email. To enable us to do this eﬃciently we need your email address to be valid. Over the coming weeks you will be asked by our recep on staﬀ if your email is current and up to date. S a fe ty S w im P ro g ra m
