TERM THREE - Week two

Community Swim Lessons

We have had the privilege this term to be invited by the John Walker Field of Dreams Foundation to participate in their Community Swim programme.  It began in 2008 and has provided free swim lessons throughout primary schools in South Auckland. They are proudly sponsored by the Lion Foundation, Auckland Council, Potter Masonic Trust and Water Safety New Zealand.

Friday the 2nd of August was our first session, the swimming assessment session, to identify what level of swimming we are at.

"Float on your stomach", "Float on your back",

"Swim to the end and back", "Hold your breath under water", "How confident are you in the water?",

"How many laps did you swim?", "How far did you swim?"

By the end of the 8 week sessions children would have developed the basic life skill of swimming. Your child’s attendance in this learn to swim initiative is vital.
