LI: To extend the duration of your swimming.
This week we had another swimming lesson with James. There was another person named Nick, he was a helper.
We first had done streamlines. We had to put our hands behind our ears and dive into the water and do streamlines. We had to do it back and fourth to the platforms. Than we had done streamlines and when we need a breath we turn on our backs.
We had to learn how to swim and not touch the ground until we got to the platform.
Then we had been diving for toys in the water. We all had a toy to dive for. It was pool toys.
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.
Today for the last day of the swimming we had to do what we did over the year and when after that we can have a race with noddles. There was only four of us so we had a race then after that we had to do more thing like dolphin diving to toys that sunk to the ground then we had to get out of the pools.
