Kiwi Swim Safe

Kiwi Swim Safe

 This term, Oaklands school was very lucky to get a visit from Tracey, a Kiwi Swim Safe Instructor.
During the session she modelled how to run a swimming lesson.

First thing we practised was how to enter and exit the pool through the sides.

 

(This is important because in case of an emergency, we will need to know how to exit the pool safely and quickly.)

Next thing we learned was how to use our legs to propel us. (Here we are in action!)

Next was how to float! (Wow, floating on our back is tough!)

And finally, a race to end the session!

Thanks Tracey and Kiwi Swim Safe!
