Kia ora,
This term, we have swimming for the first two weeks of school. We are having our lessons at QEII. This year we also had to have a buddy, my buddy, called Amelia, is so cute and funny.
In previous years when we had swimming lessons at school I enjoyed doing safety things like the boat, life jackets, and pj’s in the pool. I liked those days because it was fun and we learned how to swim in clothes. Clothes are heavier than swimming togs so we need to learn that in case we fall in with our clothes on.
Something that I have enjoyed this week is being in the big pool and doing freestyle and backstroke and lots of other things!!!! My favourite swimming stroke is freestyle because I find it easiest.
Something that I have found hard this week was learning how to tread water for 3 minutes. I found that hard because it was really tiring trying to stay afloat.
Something that I want to improve on next week is how to tread water for longer because I struggled a lot because it was really tiring . I am going to practise that so I can do it for a longer time.
