Swimming

It has been a great year of swimming so far. The school swimming sports went really well with everyone giving their best. All the best to the group that is off to Lower Waipa this Thursday.

We have started to look more at survival skills in the water. We have learnt to do side stroke which is a great survival stroke that keeps your head above the water. The students picked this up really quickly. Well done guys. The trickiest part was doing a scissor kick, and not the breaststroke kick.

We have also spent some time exploring how clothes affect our swimming and learnt how to take jeans and heavy sweatshirts off in the water. Quite a challenge and really important things to think about.
