Swimming

LI:To learn special water safety skills

This week is the last day we will be going to learn water safety skills. When we got there my group had to join Lyvie's group so it can make it easier for the teachers to teach us. Before we got into the pool we had to put on a life jacket because we were going to need it during this session.

Once everyone wore a life jacket we had to safely get into a pool and swim all the way to the wall on the left. When everyone got to the wall James showed us how to make a chain. When we did the chain we had to make sure that when were are leaning on the other person we hold the persons life jacket. When everyone was in the chain we had to do breaststroke kick to make the chain move. After a couple of kicks we had to let go so we can learn a new skill called a huddle. The next thing we did was a pencil drop. When we did a pencil drop we had to put on head behind our head and use our other hand to cross our chest while holding our life jacket. Once everyone was in position we had to take one big step into the pool one by one.

I feel like I'm going to be more confident the next time I swim because of all the swimming skills I now have.
