Swimming Session

Today, we focused on recapping basic swimming strokes.

First, we talked about how to enter a pool safely. We put our hands to the side and put them on the pool edge, then we turned ourself around and lowered ourself into the pool safely.

Next, we practiced freestyle. We swam using any swimming method we wanted, but our head needed to face the bottom of the pool. We then practiced streamline.

After that, we learned how to do a side stroke. We lay on our side in the water with one hand holding the board. We had to kick to the other side of the pool.

Finally, we did a dolphin dive. We dove into the water and lifted our bottom. We then repeated this process to complete the dolphin dive.

I enjoyed practising and recapping the basic swimming skills. I found the dolphin dive difficult to complete, however I enjoyed the overall activity.
