Why do we have swimming lessons?.
We have swimming lessons because Saint Patrick’s school will want to learn how to survive in the ocean if you’re either lost, stuck, drowning or in danger. We also have swimming to also have fun.
When did we start swimming.
We started swimming on August 1st which is the beginning of term 3. We had bring was our swimming togs, Swimming cap (If you don’t have any then you can wrap your hair in a bun), towel, sweater, Jacket or an oodie because once we come out of the pool we will shivering with coldness and we also have to bring swimming caps so that people with long hair can’t get their hair stuck on the pool ropes because trust me it will hurt so bad you might even be crying.
What did we learn in swimming?.
In swimming we learned life saving skills cool swimming moves at Swim Magic and we also got along with our swimming inspector and her name is Izzy she is really cool and she had a spectacular vibe that I will forever remember deeply in my heart. We also got to do manus, belly flops and cool jumps but not back flips because the water is too shallow and we might get hurt so back flips in the pool is a real no no.
What did we love about Swimming.
What I loved about swimming was having fun learning new things getting to swim everyday and also getting to get along with our swimming inspectors. I will miss swimming so much it was the best moment of term 3.
