Kiwi Sport

This week Thursday we had our fourth session of swimming. First the swimming coaches talked to us about water safety and the life guards. The life guards tell us not to do something only because of our safety. The water safety when getting into a river, is to go in feet first because there might be rocks and logs under and we would rather risk breaking a foot then injuring our head. Also when saving someone from out of the ocean, to be careful. When getting someone out of the situation where the water pulls you in and you start to go under the water, past them something to hold on to, to float and breathe. Then we got on with our lesson. We were seperated into the swimming coaches we worked with last week. I was with Cameron. First we did skelling where we used our hands and went in a in and out motion doing thumbs up and down. We did this on our stomachs which I could do and our backs which was more difficult. Then we swam however way across to the other platform in any way we wanted and then back. After, we all gave Cameron a high-five and got out of the pool.
