Swimming Reflections
The
swimming instructors taught us how to swim and float on our back. We have to
keep our hands on our sides as if we were soldiers.
Swimming backwards was easy for me, we had to keep our stomach up in order for
us to float.
Keanu
This is me doing a
backstroke, I have to swim 25m and a 1/2.The hardest
thing was to keep swimming in a straight line.
Jason
The skill we
learnt is backstroke and it was a bit hard for me to do. How I felt scared when
I was doing the backstroke. The reason why I was scared because everyone was
watching me, and I thought I was about to drown. In the
end I learnt how to do the backstroke. The other skill we learnt was the streamline; I found
streamline easy because I learnt how to do it last year as well. I felt doing
it was fun and interesting to learn.
Lynelle
This is me
doing the back stroke. It felt easy for me because I knew how to float and swim.
But the hard part was when we had to turn around and keep swimming and
swimming.
Patricia
When
I was under water I was so irritated because water was getting into my nose. But
what I have learnt from swimming is to learn to do the backstroke. I found the
backstroke hard because I can’t paddle properly and float and my instructor was
Rachael she told me to keep my chin at my chest, and keep my stomach up.

The first easiest skill was the streamline. We had
to have both our arms behind our ears and paddle to one end to another. The
hardest skill was the backstroke because I couldn't float on my back and couldn't keep my stomach up and kept floating. Water was getting into my eyes,
ears, and nose and couldn't paddle properly. Next time I’ll try to keep my stomach
up and paddle faster and keep swimming till I reach the
end of the pool.

This term we are learning how to swim today we are doing stream line. I
think its easy because I was listening to the instructors instructions and I go swimming lessons. I think next time I need to
bring my goggles because when I go under the water by eyes burn when water gets
into my eyes, also I need to paddle so I can float better.
Simran
This term we
had swimming lessons, and this skill we learnt is called streamline. The streamline
was easy for me because I could use that skill to swim from one end to another. When I was swimming it felt great, but I didn't like it when everyone was watching me swim.
Chelsey
The
backstroke was difficult to me because I didn’t know how to float on my back.
The first time I was floating I didn’t paddle my feet I was going to stand up
but I didn’t because the instructor was holding my back straight. I closed my
eyes because the water went in my eyes and it was hurting while I was closing
it. You need to keep your back straight, paddle your feet and put your hands by
your side.

Swimming
Lesson 2
On Wednesday 7th August after morning tea Room 14 had
their second swimming lesson. When we entered Rachael and Fern told us we had
split into two groups. The boys group and girls group, The girls went first and
the boys had to wait for 20 minutes.
20 minutes later the boys jumped in. Then we got split again
because some of us didn’t come to the last session. The first skill we learned
was the stream line. We had to put our two arms behind our ears and paddle with
our feet. Also we had to do that from one end to another.
The second skill we did was swimming on our backs. We had to keep
our heads up out of the water, keep our stomach up, and paddle, After the
instructor Rachael gave us a tip to follow a straight metal pole until our head
hits the end of the pool, and to blink if water was getting our eyes.
Finally the last skill we learnt was another swimming technique.
You had to throw one arm over and the other arm should follow and we keep doing
that for 4 times. Then you had to turn around on your back and throw your arms
backwards.
This session was helpful and amazing.

Lesson 1
On Tuesday 6th August Room 14 had their
first swimming lesson. We got into the pool and we were ready to swim. We had
to have a swimming assessment to see what we could do and what we could not
do. The first thing we had to do was
swim from one end to another end. We could swim however we wanted to. We then
had to swim on our backs and keep our head out of the water .The instructors
then taught us a swimming skill called the stream line. All we had to do was
put up our arms and put it behind our ears. Then we swam from one end to
another as much as we could do! After we had 1 minute of free time in the pool.
Finally our time was finished; we raced to the exit with 5 seconds left. Can’t
wait for the next swimming session!
