Swimming Lessons

This term for kiwisport we are doing Swimming lessons down at the Panmure Lagoon Pools. Before taking our swimming lessons everyone was to swim the whole length of the pool one by one. There were 2 groups. I was in the colour orange with a few others. At the beginning of our lessons each group got asked a number of questions about water safety. For the first lesson we were to swim down, touch the floor and get back up, until we got to the red dot. The next lesson that we did was doing the starfish for a minute. Most of us managed to complete that challenge. After that we did the stream line. For this lesson every was to put their hands up and squeeze it tight into their ears, then start swimming to the other end, without stopping. While everyone was doing the tumble turns (back/front flips), Chavda was showing us how to the butterfly. At the end of our session we did the box. The box is when you swim half of the pool with your nose in the water. Our first session of swimming was really fun and exciting, because we got the chance to learn a lot in 30 minutes.
