Swimming | Kiwi Sport | YMCA

LI: To learn how to swim safely.
This week thursday year 3-6 students had to go have there Kiwi Sport at YMCA pools in Panmure. We first had a test to see which group you had to go in. There were 3 groups. One group at the end near the little kids swimming pool, then second group in the middle, the third group at the end near the spa. I was in the third group. For our test we had to freestyle swim, before that we learnt a safety entrance to the pool. After that we had got spilt into our groups. In my gorup we learnt how to kick facing upwards with no hands in the water. We also learnt a safety entrance for if you go in the deep water. You have to stand up near the edge, toes on the edge, then you make a big step foward and fall into the water, when you go into the water you bend your knees when you touch the groud and don't point your toes or it will hurt. After thatw e learnt a safe entry for going into the river, so like moving water. We had to slide into the water with you hands on the edge slowly and keep our hands on the edge because the river is moving you will go a different direction. Then we had to stand on the platform and put our hands at the back of our ears and swim just kicking our feet with no hands and our face in the water. Then we had to do twice. We did the same thing but facing upwards with no arms too. We did it twice. After that we had to leave so we high fived our instructor. His name was Camren.
