Kiwi Sport/Swimming

Kiwi Sport

This week for kiwi sport James and Kelly gave us each one life jacket, After we had been given a tight life jacket we had to sit on the edge of the pool. Then we had to cover our mouth and put our other hand over our life jacket and take one big step out into the pool.

After we got into the pool we had to stand up against the pool so Kelly and James could tell us what to do next, I was used to lie on my back and float. Kelly told me to hold onto the life jacket of Kaitlyn, We had to make a chain by holding on to one persons life jacket-(We only had to hold onto one persons life jacket that is at the end of us).

For the next thing we did we had to go under water and try touch the ground, This is really hard when you are wearing a life jacket because a life jacket is meant to hold your head ubove water so you dont drowend. I find this hard beacuse you have to touch the ground with a life jacket on.

Next we had to swim to one end of the pool and swim half way to the other side, We had to swim on our tummys. This is a really easy skill to do but you have to do really slow.
