Swimming

L.I:To learn how to swim
Today the year 4s, 5s, and 6s went to the YMCA pools. The first group that went was the year 4s then the year 5s and then the year 6s. I was in the year 5s group. We had to walk to the middle of the pool. We had to sit down and we had to do the safe entry. When we got into the pool we had to go on the island/Platform.

When we all got on to the island/platform we got a surf board that we had to hold on. We had to hold the top and then start to kick forward. Two people had to go then another 2. When we did that we had to do another lesson. Its when we have to put our hands at the bottom of the surf board. Then you start to kick off. We could do big splashes with our feet as well.

When we got onto the island/platform we did a special swimming lesson. Its when we push off and we put our eyes in the water and we have to move our hands on the surf board over and over again into we get to the island/platform. The coach picked 2 people to hop of the platform and go at the end where the deep bet is. When we got there we had to take our feet of the ground and we had to try and stay above the water.

If we touched the floor we have to restart. Then we had to get out of the pool and go into the pool where the little kids go in. Then we had to get into a circle in the pool. When we got into the circle we all turned anti clockwise. Then when we turned around we had to let go and float. When we floated the water turned us around. Then we went the other way and we did the same thing over again.
