Swimming Recount


Swimming Recount

Splash!!  I jumped into the new and amazingly warm swimming pool at Panmure Bridge School. I loved it because it was in the school. The class were all enthusiastic to jump into the school pool.    

I quickly got changed into my swimming togs and hurried to the pool. Our group hurriedly climbed into the pool.  ‘Aaahhh’ the water was nice and warm. Then we learnt how to do freestyle most people struggled with the stroke but I did not struggle so I was proud of myself. Then we had to do backstroke I  felt like I was flying in the air above the clouds it was amazing.

On the 2nd day of swimming we did a stroke called the stingray we I tried it I struggled a little so I started to work on my technique and guess what happened I did better.  Mr Burton then showed us how to do freestyle the right way and I went really fast so I thanked Mr  Burton.  Then the group had free time and we had a handstand competition, sadly I did not win, but I had fun.

I had a really great time learning how swim and how to play sports with Mr Nepia. On the 3rd day we played a game involving swimming skills there were two each player had a number it was so much fun and I never wanted to stop. I had fun learning how to swim with Mr Burton and Ms. Kirkpatrick in term one of 2012.
