Siwmming

For the last two weeks the year 7 and 8 have been going down to the Glen Innes pool. During lunch time when we finished our lunch room 18 and 22 go to the pools for swimming lessons our teacher and they are Ms Tito,Miss Dempster,Mrs Nua,Mr Harris and Mrs Lagitupu.Why do we go swimming you may ask well we go there to the pools so we can get better at swimming so if you are lost out in the sea,Emergency and also you could survival and if you are surround by water.

The second week of swimming we had to test how good we were at swimming. We had two teams and the team that I was in was Miss Dempster. When I got into the pool I was cold and had goosebumps. My teacher Miss Dempster told us that we were going to be doing freestyle and backstroke.


I am going to explain how to do freestyle.When you are doing freestyle you have to keep your legs straight and your elbow has to came out first and then your finger drive in the water and then came out and the same of the other arm.

Now I am going to explain about backstroke. Backstroke is a litter bit about freestyle but you are lying on your back and kicking your legs but the still have to be straight. And your arm have to go in a circle. And I want to go back to swimming because swimming is cool and fun.
