L.I: To learn water safety

First we started of by wearing life jackets when we got our life jackets on we had to get in the water. When we got in the water we had to make a chain when we were wearing our life jacket we had to make a chain to make a chain you just have to hold each other and you have to frog kick to move but you don't kick or you might hit the person in front of you. The next thing we did was huddle. To do Huddle you have to put your hand under someone arm and was was how we learned how to stay at the same place by doing the huddling. When we finished that we had to do pencil dive. The pencil dive is you have to hold your life jacket and you have to put you other arm at the back of your head. When your hand is in place you have to take a big step and get in the water that was what we learned at swimming and it was our last week. I enjoyed it and had fun.

L.I: To learn more skills about swimming.

Swimming was about learning about more skills. The first skill we did was freestyle. Freestyle is pointing your hands straight and put your hands together then start doing then when you kick yourself you start circling you arms and that is how you do freestyle. That was the first skill but it was even harder because we had to do laps and the laps we had to do was three laps after the three laps. The second skill we did was backstroke that was is the same as doing freestyle but you have to do it the opposite way that was hard as well because we had to do laps again after we did that we when to our third skill but it was races. The race was you had to vers three people and when you win you had to vers the winners and I was one of them when we raced I came last but I still tried my best.

L.I: To improve our swimming skills and learn more.

We started with swimming by doing streamline. Streamline is easy to do. Streamline is easy because you have to put your arms together and push yourself in the water and when you push yourself you have to start kicking your feet. The Second skill we did was freestyle. Freestyle is something that you put your hands like a wheel and then kick your feet that is how you do freestyle. The last skill was backstroke. Backstroke was the last skill and it was the hardest because it was like freestyle but you have to try and do it on your back that was hard but I tried my best to do it and that was the last skill.

Swimming was about water safety we started with freestyle. Freestyle was all about our arms, legs and breathing and that was hard for me because I had to do freestyle and I had to breath after six kicks and that was hard because I only took one breath at a time. The second water safety thing we did was backstroke. Second we did was backstroke we to make our arms straight and we had to twist our hand at the top then we have to roll this one was hard because we did the backstroke backwards and we had to try and roll our hands around so we can go more distance I tried my best to do it but I failed but I still tried. lastly we did endurance swimming that was the most hardest thing I did in swimming because we went on another lane and we had to swim to the end and I was too small and I nearly dried and we had to do it two times and I tried my best and I made it and that was not the best swimming thing I did.

L.I: To learn rescuing

Swimming was about rescuing people in the water and being rescued in the water. When we had get into it he showed us an example of not doing when someone is saving you. Try not to panic and not pull the person down that's saving you. James said we had to get into a partner and I find my partner after that james said one of us has to go in the water my partner said he will then one has to be sitting outside of the water. I was the one sitting outside of the water then he said grab a noodle and he said try to rescue your partner and the position was lying down because it will be easy to pull to them to surface after that we swapped sides then I was the one who pulled up. Now I learned how to rescue someone in the water and how to be rescued.

This week for swimming we started with streamline so we could get accurate at it. Streamline was like normal we had to put our hands straight and put one on top of the other then you have to just swim and then you will get it. The next one was with the streamline but when you do the streamline you have roll then breath and that was called streamline and roll for breath and if you do it you have to not swing your head around. the second to last one was kicking on back that is easy because you just have go on your back and start kicking. Lastly is Breast stroke or you can call it survival stroke that was the one I liked because you have to put your legs straight then make a v then take your legs out then bring it back in and that makes a force that can push you and that was the coolest part of swimming.

This week for swimming we started with streamline kicking. If you want to do the streamline kicking you have to put your arms together and put one of your hands on top of the other and then when you push yourself start kicking in the water. The next thing we did was freestyle. If you wanted to do freestyle you have do the same thing as the streamline kicking but you have to swing your arms in circles. The next one we did was rolling back to front. We had to do it by kicking of our fleeting after we did that we had to go on our back and count to six then go back on our belly and that is how you do it. Lastly was dolphin dive. If you like to do you have to go down then you have to come back up.

This week for swimming we were doing Swimming streamline with james that was kind of easy because we can just swim in a straight line with our hands on the side or straight without paddling.
That was hard because my group had to go to the deep side that was hard for me because I never had enough breath to breath. The next thing we did arm circles that was hard because we had to go on our back and we had to circle our hands and the other things we did were:

• Bounce and breathe
• Endurance swimming
• Dolphin kick

These were things we did bounce and breath was the fun one because we had to just jump in the water and breath. The second to last one was endurance swimming that means we had to start from the beginning and go to the deep side and that was hard because we had to not touch the floor. The last one was Dolphin kick that was fun and we had a fun time.
