Rm 18's FINAL SWIMMING LESSON 

for Term 1

This term, as part of our PE lessons, we learnt how to swim.  Every odd week we had a couple of lessons taken by our very own teacher Mrs Aliifaalogo.  First part of swimming was how we enter the pool 

as well as to enjoy the water and feel safe in the water.

Being able to float and scull at the same time was a safety technique we tried to master, especially when in a real situation where there are waves going against you.  We learnt that sculling is an essential skill when in the open water, that it helps you make your way to where you need to go, in a safe and calm manner.

We tried our very best to keep our feet up and be floating on a flat lever while at the same time tilting our head so we know where we are going.  

We found out too that breathing is an important skill when swimming.  To be able to hold your breath under water especially while floating or diving.

And most of all when swimming, is to be safe and follow the rules in whatever water facility you go to e.g the beach or the pools.  To swim between the flags, keep away from the rip tides and always swim together with two or more others.
