Swimming with Instructors

This week Room 11 has started swimming safety lessons with Swimsation. We have been learning how to keep ourselves safe in the water.

We have been starting our lessons on the side of the pool. Kicking our feet in the water. We then have to enter the water safely from the side of the pool.

We have been learning to blow bubbles under the water, float on our front and back, and streamline kick through the water.

We practiced floating on our back while the rest of the class made big waves with the flutter boards.

Then we made a current with our flutter boards. we had a go at swimming against the current and then with the current. It was much easier to swim with the current.

Some of us had a go at making a whirl pool by moving very quickly in a circle. Once we had made a strong current we sunk to the bottom like mushrooms. It was very exciting. I wonder what we will learn next?
