Swimming

We first got into our life jakets and straight into our groups. 
Our first lesson was the pencil dive but it was a little bit differnt with a lifejaket on. How to do the pencil dive is one arm holding on to where your your arm comes out. Next we had to put the other arm to cover our nose so when you jump off the water dosent go thought your nose. A coldshock makes your mouth open too.

Then after that we had to make a chain. How to make a chain is first you hve to lie back onto your back. Next Hold the back of the jacket of the person in front of you. Then Kick to the side but dont kick the person in front. Then after we had to hundle togerther so when some one is very cold then you move them in the middel and staytogerther. How to do the hunddel is to wrap the arms under arms of the person next to you. Then make sure your legs are down.

For the help potions you have to bundle up like the bomb potion.

Today for kiwi sport year 5 LS1 went to YMCA to learn a lesson in the water. We first learnt about hypothermia. Hypothermia is cold the signs are when lips turn blue/purple,teeth start chattering,walking funny,talking funny. In our group we first remembered our safe entry then after that we did the safe entry is floating on our back so if the area is deep you can float on your back to get to safety. then after our floating on our back we did back floating using noodle an our board. we used a noodle we kick to the other plateforms. Then we did Sculling when you put your hands in frount of you and then swing your arms in and out your thumbs are up and then go down. then we had to hold our breath underwater for 20 secounds.

LI: To be safe in the water. First we started doing stair entry witch was when you have to get into the pool by using the ladder to get in we have to get in backwards so if its deep you can pull yourself back up. The next skill we did was slide entry is when you have to put both hands on one side and slide into the pool with your hands still on the wall. Then after that, was us using a board to do this skill called float board, is when you have a board and you look down kicking in the water with out makeing splashes. Then last we did float bord switching is when you swim looking down and then switch on your back.
