Kiwi Sport | Swimming

This week for kiwisport we are learning to swim at the YMCA Panmure Lagoon Pools for 30 minutes. The year 6's got changed and then some worked with different coaches. My coach was Cameron. He was also teaching me with Sandra, Matthew, and Mojtaba. First we learnt how to get into a moving river or such. This was called pin where we stood up on the wall, and took a big step out into the water but bend the legs, then jump in. Everyone did good because it was pretty easy, but I took a smaller step than everyone else. Next we learnt the basics of how to get into the water. First we sat down on the wall and put out hands out on the side. Then we had to push up and slowly turn our body half way into the water with out hands still on the wall. Once we were in the water, we stood on the platform and did swimming with circle arms. Everyone knew how to do this so it was pretty easy. After we did that, we went off the platform again and did a different type of swimming using our hands. The cycle was thumbs up, thumbs down, little circles but very fast. We had to go forward off the platform and then slowly float on our backs. We couldn't kick our feet. In my opinion it was a little hard so that is why I failed at it a little. Then Cameron chucked two rings in the water and two people had to go find one at a time but it wasn't a race. First it was Sandra and Matthew, then Mojtaba and I. I was able to find my ring each time. After that we hoped out and got changed then headed back on the bus to go back to school.
