LI: to learn water safety
We first started off with stream lines. Then James (Instructor) gave us a tip when doing our streamlines. We do our streamlines with a straight body, and our head looking down in the water. Then when we kick we should use the strength from our hips and thighs.
Next we used paddle boards to practise our kicks. We then held the paddle board horizontally and did our kicks. Later we had to try to swim down and touch the ground, then come back up. Lastly we did laps and tried to do it without stopping. Lastly we did a swim we wanted to do and hopped out.
This week we had another sessions of swimming. The first thing we did was get into the groups that we were in last week. My teacher in the pool was James from last year. So our first lesson was to swim streamlines from the water platform to the other platform more down the pool. We had to streamline back and forth one time.
The next thing we did was arm circle. We had to lift our arm one by one then you will be swimming. We had to do the three times to get use to it and to do it the way it is suppose to go.Our teacher gave us a little push to swim faster if we can.
Next we did was bounce and breath :
We had to bounce up from swimming and breath then bounce back down to swim all the way.
Endurance swimming :
We had do normal swimming and to see how fast we can swim.
Dolphin kick: We had to dolphin kick back and forth for some time for the last thing we had to do before we will high five our teacher and do any kind off swimming you want.
LI: to develop body movements of balance, rotation and strength.
This session is the last session for the term. For a start we had to do stretches. The stretches we did were: L shape, Seal, Butterfly, cat, straddle and back, front, side support. On each we had to push our self to feel the burn. We had to do each of them for 10 seconds and move on to the next one.
We had three rotation the first rotation had: going backwards on the beam, cartwheel on the box, cart wheel on the stage and forward roll on the bench. The second rotation had: star jumping off the trampoline, backwards roll down, 1 leg/scorpion hand stand and the half/180 jump. For the trampoline jump we had to get a high jump and move into a star shape position. For the 180 turn we had to jump on the spring ramp and turn half way.
The last rotation had: Hand stand against the wall, front support, parallel bars and back/side/front rotation. For the hand stand against the wall we have to hand stand putting one foot on the wall and the other stretching out and then switch. We then ended with telling the most difficult part of the challenges.
