First week of swiming

“This is so cold” I told my friend Litia, as I put on my damp and clammy life jacket. Chris helped me pick a life jacket for me.Luckily it fitted snugly. Eagerly waiting to go in the pool I kept fidgeting around.

Chris is from the water safety NZ. He came to teach room15 about water safety. The portable pool he brought with him, is on the courts, which means you can move it from school to school.

As I hopped in the pool my teeth chattered and I shivered and shook.To make me warm I tried out the help position.The help position is one of the water safety tips. I floated on my back and I put my arms like a cross.

Latter on we had to get in a circle. When we were all connected we slowly put our legs up and floated. Chris gently rotated us and said “ This time you have to sing the National Anthem” As we sang Chris told us to turn down the volume down because we were out of tune and our voices sounded like thunder. “Finally we are finished” I said in my head as the song ended.

At the end we all hopped out of the pools, and we had to stay in the sun to be dry. I can’t wait to go in the pool again. It was fun. THE END
