Today we went to the lagoon pools for swimming. First we started off with walking through waves, people had boards and made waves withe them and one person at a time had to go through the waves. After we did swimming against the current, this one was really hard because the water was hitting your face and we had to go down to the bottom the pass through.

 Then we did swimming with the current, now this one was easier than swimming against the current because the currents pushed you to the other and you didn't need to use much power. Lastly we made a big whirl pool. To make a whirl pool we needed to make a circle, hold hands and run in a circle. when the current was strong enough we lied on our backs and let the current push us.

Today was the last day for swimming. First we sat at the edge of the pool with our own instructors. Then we tried floating on the back with a noodle and without a noodle, it is same as sculling but without doing thumbs up and thumbs down. I think floating on back with no noodle was easier After that we did kicking on our back. Later we did sculling with a noodle, we had to look up and  put our belly on the surface to stay balanced in the water.

Soon after our instructor Kelly drop some rings at the bottom of the pool for us to get. Later on we sat on the edge to do the seated dive.

Today the year 5's went for swimming. First we each wore life jackets and sat at the edge of the pool. Then James and Kelly taught us a new type of pencil dive where you hold your line jacket where your arms come out of and cover your mouth and nose. This technique is really good if you are diving in freezing cold water. Because when you get in cold water you will get cold shock, and when you get cold shock your mouth will open and there is a chance that water can get in After that we learnt how to make a chain, first we held on to the life jacket of the person in front of you and kick your legs on the sides.
