Swimming Recount
Hey!! Why is everyone yelling? Then I looked in wonder, it was a new swimming pool. When our class finally got to hop into the pool the first thing we learnt was freestyle. We learnt that freestyle uses up a lot of energy. Freestyle means you can swim faster when you swim short distances. Then we had to show Ms. Kirkpatrick how we do freestyle, if you did it well we would stay with Ms. Kirkpatrick, and if we didn’t do the technique right we would go to Mr Burton. Mr Burton is the swimming instructor .
The next thing we learnt was backstroke. Backstroke is a little bit difficult at first but then I caught on and it was easy. Backstroke uses up a little bit of energy but not a lot of energy like freestyle.
The next day we did ten laps of running in the pool it was tiring. Next we learnt a new way of swimming, called stingray. Stingray is when you lie on your back and your arms go backwards and forward and you kick your legs as well, it was a lot of fun.
On Friday some lucky people were picked to do snorkeling, everyone was excited. When we got there it was very warm. When we hopped into the pool everyone said, “This is so nice and warm.” Then we got the mask and the snorkle. It was hard at first but then I got it we all had fun swimming in the pool.
I’m upset that the pool is getting packed away. I can’t wait until it comes back next year. I hope we do more sessions next year and learn more swimming skills.
