LI: To learn how to save someone who is drowning.

This week we were talking about how to save lives in water and how to stay alive in the water. When someone is drowning you do not go up to them. If someone drowns you should not go up to them because they are panicked and when you try to get them they will jump on you and try to get air and will make you drown, if they are drowning you it is not there fault, they are panicked. The right thing you should do is get something like a stick, or a rope to pull them out. Some people can touch the floor and they think that they can't. 

When you want to save someone in the pools get a noodle and pull them out but if you stand up then you would fall in the water. You need to lay on your front and pull them in. You could also use a rescue rope. When you throw it in you have to put your hand in the whole and stand on the rope so you cal pull the person in, you could also lie down on the rope and pull the person who is drowning in so it can be secure. 

There is another way to float in very deep. You have you make the stance of sitting in the water and make your legs widen out by doing big circles in the water, and with one hand you do it like how you scull with your arms but with one arm, then you put your other hand straight up and shout "HELP!!, HELP!!". If you get too tired then lie on your back and put your hand up for a short time, and call for help.
