Swim Safe

Swim Safe

Today we had Fiona from Swim Safe come and do some dry land swimming activities with us. Lucky we didn't have to get into the pool because it has been cold!
Check us out in our swim caps!


Stretched Streamline

By Ethan, Sam, Shohei, Anthony and Caleb
We had to make streamline arms and stretch as far as we could, we had to try and touch the sky and walk in a line around the pool.

Legs and Arms up

By Seth, Bryce, Humo and Nick.

We were learning to develop our tummy muscles by lying flat and putting our legs and arms up, this will help our streamline swimming.

Bottoms off the ground

By Tommy, Te Ahu, Liam, Kairon and Pasa.

What we did first was lay on our back then we lifted our bottoms off the ground. We had to keep them off the ground for 25 seconds, you could tell it was working our muscles because it hurt.


Forward and Backwards Arms

By Kairon and Anthony
We were trying to swing both arms in opposite ways. This was getting us to practice both backstroke and freestyle arms at the same time, plus test our coordination. It was hard!
Breaststroke Arms
By Kayla, Chloe, Justis, Tahlia and Isabel

Today we were practising our breaststroke arms on dry land. We did our arms into our chest to make an arm arrow and shot our arms out. After we did the arms we started practicing our legs
Breaststroke Legs

By Kimberley, Isabelle, Anna, Shirley and Micayela.
We were learning to correctly do breaststroke legs, first we had to put our legs up and our feet flat in the air, then we turned out our feet and made a circle that brought our feet down to the ground again, then we started again and did it a few more times.
