Swimming | Kiwi Sport | YMCA

This week for swimming we had a different swimming instructor named Helen. When we had gotten in the water Helen asked us some questions about the things we have been talking about in the previous weeks we have been coming.

If you get caught in a rip you always need to go with the water and not fight it because it will make you drown and sink. If you are not a good swimmer then you can just float on your back and go with the water.

We did streamline swimming to the other platform and back. We had to put our hands up and put them behind our ears and just kick. We had to make our legs long and do small kicks.

Then we were doing sculling. We learnt how to scull when you are in a river. When you are in the river you put your feet first so if there is any rocks or something you can bounce off it. You have to put your legs together so that you don't hit anything.

Then we were treading the water. We had to use a noodle and tread with the noodle for 3 minutes and tread without the noodle for 1 minute. We had to try not to touch the ground. This was our challenge.

Then we did monkey swimming. We had to climb on the side of the pool moving sideways. Then we had got the rings and Helen will throw them in the water and two people will try get one of the two rings.
