Swimming - Term 1 Week 1 2021 - February

 Today room 7 had swimming lessons with the swim constructor, she started off teaching all the students on how to swim.

In our first lesson she taught us how to catch your breath, while you are floating on your back. When you are about to lose your breath you quickly kick off and roll on your back to hold a deep breath, once you have catched your breath you roll back on your stomach and carry on swimming.

In our second lesson she taught us how to dive underwater, and use your arms to guide on where you are going, you put both your arms in front of you and push your arms side to side, you are gonna make sure that your arms are open and are in front of your shoulders. When you have got that right you are gonna focus on paddling with your feet to keep you floating when you swim.

On our third lesson we all were taught how to give hand signals, while you are swimming, all the students were told to float on their back and put one hand up and use the other hand to paddle so that it can keep your head and body up.

And in our last lesson we were split up into 2 groups,  group 1 and group 2 our swim constructor called group 1 to stand on the side of the pool and make waves while the other group would swim across the pool. When group 2 made it to the end group 2 went to the side and they started to make the waves while group 1 swam across the pool.

After we were done we walked out and went to class.
