Kiwi Sport

This week for kiwi sport we went to the YMCA lagoon pools to learn swimming. We normally have Cameron as our swimming instructor but he was sick so we got Helen for our swimming instructor. When we got to Helen she called out the roll and then talk to us about what we have been learning through the past weeks that we have been going swimming. We talked about things we need when going on boats, thing we need to do when stuck in a rip and things we need to do when going to a beach or river. We also talked about hyperthermia and hypothermia and what you need to do when someone has it or you have it.

After we finished talking, We practice getting into the pool safely and out of the pool safely and the way you did this was both your hands on the side of your hips then turn around and slowly slip in the water. The second thing we did was a rocket ship turning into arm stoke and the way we did this was put or hands in the air with them connecting then kick off the platform or wall, then we had to swing our arms in a circle and then put our head on one of the arms that were not circling to breath. The third thing we did was free style which is exactly like arm strokes but you have to do three arm strokes not one.

The nest thing we did was sculling in sculling you have to put your thumbs up and then push against the water we had to do feet first because we were acting like we were in a river. The next thing we did was we had to choose 4 moves from the moves that we learnt this term and when chose them you would have to go do your moves till the platform on the other side. The next thing we did was Helen would pick 4 things and we would have to do it like the one before but she chose. When we finished our things we high five Helen then got out of the pool safely then (Got change) went back to school.
