LI: to be safe in the water and learn survival skills in the water
This week for Swimming when we first got there we learned about Hyperthermia and Hypothermia. Hyperthermia is when you are really hot. Your temperature is extremely hot. We talked about what we should do and what we shouldn't. When we are really hot we should go to a cold shower, but when we do that don't make the water cold instantly. Make the water cold slowly. If you put someone with hyperthermia in a cold shower instantly, they will have a shock because the body is not comfortable with being in hot the cold temperature quickly. Same with someone who has Hypothermia. The signs when someone has Hypothermia is:
Lips turn blue
Teeth are chattering
Being confused
There body is tricking them
being abnormal such as: talking funny, not making sense when talking, walking funny.
So when we finished we got into our groups. So first we did streamlines. Our hands together above our head and then kicking our feet. Then we floated on the water on our backs. Then we did something tricky and hard. We had to do a streamline then rotate to floating on our backs. When we did rotated we had to be straight and flat. When we all did that we did Dolphin Dives. It was really fun. How to Dolphin Dive is when you put you feet together, kick them together and wiggle your body. We only used our feet to move underwater.
