Swimming | YMCA Lagoons

Today the year fours went to the YMCA lagoons with Mrs. Prasad in room five. Our lesson for today was to learn how to stay warm in water so we can't get hypothermia or hyperthermia.

We had to put life jackets on. We then went into the water to start our session. James told us to do the pencil dive into the water so we did that. Then James instructed us to float on our backs. Some people struggled to do that because they were scared. But they still tried.

We then made a circle by putting our hands at the bottom of the other persons arm so they can float. We then had to put our knees up. If there are little kids with you, you put them in the middle of the circle to keep them warm.

We then made a chain link while in the water. We had to hold the person in front of us by the opening of the arm and kick the side to go fast. James was impressed with us because we were able to turn and go fast without him pushing us. Our lesson then ended.
