Kiwi Sport | Swimming

Today we had our first kiwi sport session for term three. The year four's had to go with room five to the YMCA lagoon. We had swimming sessions with Cameron. When we arrived to the pool we had to go through the hall and then we had to tell the instructor if we can swim. We had to tell her that for safety reasons. We then sat on the edge of the pool. Cameron showed us how to get into the pool safetly if you don't know how deep the pool is. You have to put your hands on one corner and the go down into the pool. We then had to put one hand on the other side so if the water is too deep we have to get out the pool. Cameron told us to try swimming from one platform to the other platform. When we did the rest of the things Cameron told us to float on our backs I did that. We had to float then start kicking to move. After that we had to try diving to the bottom. Then we got taught how to do the pencil dive. We did the pencil dive by putting your hand on your side and then taking a big step, then you fall down into the water. But you have to put your body straight.
