Swimming | Kiwi Sport | Kicking

Helen was our swimming instructor for Kiwi Sport. She made us do a challenge because it was our last time going to YMCA pools for Kiwi Sport because we had school holidays.

Our session was about kicking. We learnt how to kick our feet with long legs and small kicking to not make any big splashes we used boards.

Then we did a little bit of sequencing.
"What does sequencing mean?" - It means when you do things in a particular order.

We had to swim from one platform to another but we had to do in a certain way. We tried using different swimming skills. So first we had to do a mushroom float when we crunch up and tuck our legs in then we make a form of a T then get into your stream line position looking like a rocket then blast off swimming no arm strokes. Then we changed the sequence. We had to do a mushroom float, T form, Streamline then blast off doing 4 arm strokes and turn around, then float on your back sculling to the next platform. Then we had to try make our own sequence with 5 swimming skills.

Then we had another challenge. We had to see if we could swim one end to the 2nd platform without toching the ground. We had to partner up with someone to do that. I partnered up with sulia. Me and sulia ended up with a draw. Then we had to sit on the boards and scull to the other platform. I won that round. Then we all said thank you to helen and gave her a high five then went out pool safely and got changed back into our uniform.
