clear water

Hi, today was the day we got to do boat safety as part of swimming week. I enjoyed it even thought we have done the same thing for the last two years. The best part in my opinion was going under the boat because I did not enjoy jumping of the boat into the cold water or making the huddle.  The rest of the lesson was fun but it was not exciting or different.  Would you like doing water safety?

A big SPLASH!

Hi, on Friday we went to swimming sports.  I was excited as I was racing against my friends in 2 races.  When we got to the pool there was a lot of noise, excitement and nerves.  I mostly felt nervous.  The first races were the freestyle races and I was in the 25m freestyle.  When I got into the pool for my race I had butterflies doing summersoults in my tummy.  As soon as I heard the whistle go I was off, powering myself through the water.  Once my hand touched the wall at the end I looked up and was excited to see I had come third.  When I got out of the pool my friend Hannah was there with my towel and my friends and I all celebrated our successes.  The second race I was in was the 25m backstroke.  I came second in this and was really proud of myself.

When my friend Hannahs race was on my friends and I screamed as loudly as we could and were soooooo excited when she won her freestyle race.

The bus trip back was noisy and we were pleased it was all over.
