First week of Swimming

Eagerly waiting beside the pool for Chris, we were all chattering excitedly. Before long he came out and we got given life jackets that were freezing. As I squeezed into my damp clammy life jacket I shivered and shuddered because it was cold and clammy. I quickly adjusted my jacket and off we were into the pool.

Chris is a helper from water safety NZ and is here to teach us about the safety way of using water . He will be taking us to the new pool every Wednesday for the rest of the term. While in the pool we were learning some activities and re caped what we learnt the week before . One of the activities we did was when Chris told us to huddle up in a big circle with the whole class. Then he ordered us to sing the national anthem and was spinning us around in circles “AHHHHHH “I screamed.


After a while I was fine, it was awesome. I can’t wait for swimming next week on Wednesday because we had a really great time.
