Swimming Recount

Today was the day I went swimming.

Only a few went swimming today so the lesson went over quick but we got the fun we needed. We had a swimming instructor come over and teach us how to survive while swimming in a pool or at the beach.

First lesson we learnt was floating. We learnt how to float on our backs and tummies. A while later we learnt how to signal a lifeguard while floating.

After we learnt all that we went onto Skelling. Skelling helps to keep us warm if we are out on the ocean and calling out for help. We were skelling from one end to the other while rolling over to our back to take a breather.

The girls and boys were separated into two groups. The boys went to the side and started making waves. Since there were only four girls swimming the girls went two by two. After the girls went it was the boys turn. Girls went to the side to make waves while the boys were split into two groups of three.

Then after we’ve done all that, everyone is set into groups of two. Our partner had to stand in front of us while the other had to hold onto their back. My partner was the runner while I was the motor. She ran and I paddled, we then came to a tie with Victoria and Pitara.

It was all fun but the fun came to an end. Do you like swimming????
