Hello readers and welcome back to my blog. Today we had our first swimming session at Canterbury swim school. We had to get into groups and 1 group has one lane to practice on. They had 2 pools with some lanes. 1 pool was warm and the other was cold. Our group was in the warm pool. Each group had one swimming instructor. The instructors name is Huia and he was a man. We learnt how to swim.
1. First we had to get boards.
2. We had to practice how to make big circles with our arms.
3. Once we got the circles, the instructor showed us how to breath while swimming. Stand on the floor, keep your right ear on your shoulder, take a deep breath, then put your head in the water, then blow bubbles for 4 seconds. Then you can come back up and do the same thing again.
4. After we learnt that we had to practice doing the circles and the blowing bubbles at the same time but you had to walk.
5. Then we were doing the real thing and started doing kicking.
6. I was kind of doing it wrong so the instructor helped me for a while. He said I was a quick learner.
7. After a while I got it and we went into the cold side which was longer. The instructor was holding the end of our boards and was slowly pushing us to the end of the pool. I went all the way without stopping.
I loved our first session!
What a SUPER recount Sadiya.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way that you have sequenced your writing.
It made it easy to read and it's presented well.
I wasn't with your group but this is exactly the same way that Huia taught the other groups.
I am so glad that you enjoyed your time in the pool.
What is the biggest improvement/achievement you made from the beginning of the sessions to the last time you went?.
