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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
