Swimming Time


Swimming Time!

Yipee! It was a nice hot weather for a swim. I couldn’t wait for a swim. By the time my group and I hopped in the pool, it was freezing cold. I felt like I was trapped in the fridge.

We were shaking and trying to get warm in the pool so Mr Burton stared at us and said that we had to jump up and down so that we could get warm instead of playing around to get warm.

Finally when we all got warm we had to learn how to float on our back so that if we get tired in any pools we could just turn around and float on our back. We all had to show Ms. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Burton if we knew how to float on our backs. When it was my turn to float all I could see was the top of the swimming pool roof. By the time we all had a turn at floating on our backs we were all quite good at floating on our backs.

Then we all had to do some freestyling. The really hard thing was that we had to breath 1,2, and breathe on 3. It was a little hard when it came time to breathe. Finally we got the idea.

When we all knew how to float on our back we then had to do handstands, it was very hard because I couldn’t hold onto my breath. We challenged other people at handstands. The winners had to challenge each other and the losers had to just watch. The winner was...Maliana. She was very good at doing handstands but she wanted to challenge me but I lost.

I had a very nice fun day at the swimming pools hopefully we do some more next year.
