Swimming Recount

Feeling the cold freezing water in the pool as I hopped in. I was frozen as an ice-block. As the professional instructors assessed us they each gave us numbers.

First we got into 3 groups. We started off using a board, putting our hands at the bottom of the board and started kicking in the water. Next we put our head down in the water and started kicking halfway down the pool.

Then we learnt how to freestyle and learn how to keep our arms straight.  We learnt how to breathe while doing our freestyle by turning our head to side to side on our arm when we need to take a breathe.

Later on we had a race back, we could do any kind of swimming freestyle,backstroke or just glide.

I had fun doing swimming with the professional instructors.

Morning start

Today when i got to school it was raining. We went to assembly and it was still raining. After the assembly finished my class went swimming. When I got into the pool I was so cold, my legs were so numb I couldn't feel anything. Some people in my class didn't want to hop in the pool because it was as cold as a sitting in a freezer for 5 years. Then we finished swimming and started our maths work in class. I've had a wonderful morning so far

Swimming Lessons

Ever since swimming at Glenbrae started this year, some talented swimming instructors have been coming to our school to help us students from year 3s to year 7 swim. Over the past weeks we have been learning some wonderful swimming skills like practicing the free style and stream lines. We have to make sure our chins are touching our chest so we are looking at the bottom of the pool and we have to keep your feet kicking in the flowy water.

We learn how to swim so we can keep safe in the water at all times.
