Swimming | Kiwisport

LI: To learn swimming techniques and water safety.

The year fives of LS1 went to the YMCA lagoon to learn new abilities. We started of with the safe entry. We then practised the streamline from one platform to the other. After that we floated on our backs with floating boards. We had to keep our body and arms straight and had to keep the board on our knees. We also had to remember to keep our body above water. Next we were kicking on our backs. For our last skill we were learning how to rotate with our floating boards. We had to do the streamline then after we ran out of breath we had to rotate and put the floating baord on our knees when we float on our backs. Livvy added an extra activity at the end. For this activity we had to get toys from the bottom of the pool. I enjoyed todays swimming session.
