Swimming

We have been swimming regularly in the school pool - working on developing confidence and skills in the water. It is so important to have at least some basic ability to stay above the surface and swim short distances if we live in New Zealand...we are surrounded by water!

This week we have also started sessions at Cameron pools where students were put into groups and began to learn and practise different skills. It's great to be able to do this in water that is safer (not rough or deep) so we can gain skills that could, one day, potentially save our lives.
