Swimming

LI: Learning how to swim.
LI: Learning Water safety.

This week for kiwi sport we went to YMCA lagoon pools to practice our swimming. We learnt how to get into the pool safely, free style, breath stroke, star fish and back stroke.

My coaches name was Cameron, He would show us how to do a swimming task and then we would copy him. The guy I started with was James, He told us to do a breath stroke. After we all did a breath stroke James sent all the people he thought was good to level three.

When we got to Cameron, Cameron told all of us to stand on a plat form that felt like a trampoline. He would demon strait the swimming task and then he would tell us to do the exact same thing but when we slow down we have to use our legs to kick or our arms to glide.

The first swimming task we did was getting into the pool safely, In this swimming task we had to put our to hands on the side of the pool and jump in. The second swimming task we did was star fish, In this swimming task we had to bend our knees and kick back, when we got half way Cameron would push our feet to go further. The third thing we did was back stroke, In this swimming task we had to kick off the black plat form to get a good glide. The fourth thing we did was breath stroke, In this swimming task we had to do wind meals with our arms. The last thing we did was free style, In this swimming task we had to do wind meals and do how many breaths we wanted. After we learnt these he told us to go get changed, Mr Ogilvie was teasing the girls because we came last. We hoped strait on the bus and came back to school.
