Swimming week 1 and 2

LI: to learn safety in water. 

Last week and this week the Y8 group went to the YMCA pools in Panmure to learn safety skills in the water. We were split into 2 groups depending on how confident we are in water. To get into the pool safely we put both hands on one side and entered. 

The skills we learnt were

• Floating (facing up) - make a star fish facing up.
• Floating (facing down) - make a star fish facing up. 
• Dolphin Diving - dive down, touch the floor of the pool with both hands and jump up. 
• Streamline - put our arms behind our ears and kick (with and without swimming board).
