LI: to learn how to be safe in the water
Today straight away my group did sculling on our back, we tried to do it as long as possible. Then we sculled feet first. We couldn't kick because it would take us backwards. Our feet had to be straight and together. Also when we scull we should always put our fingers together.
Then we started to tread water. So we went to the deep end, and had to float in the water while doing a sitting position. Our legs had to be widely separated, and rotating. Same with our hands. We also have to lean back a little bit to help us float a bit more.
Then we jumped into the pool, we weren't going to do a cannon - ball or a belly - flop. What we were going to do was pretty similar to the pencil dive. We just had to do a small jump then swim back to the wall.
After that we tried to swim as far as possible doing the rotation. So we would swim in our front doing any kind of stroke, so dolphin dive, streamline, torpedo arms, and more. So when we got tired at our front we would just rotate and float on out backs. We did that a for a couple of times. Then we have done our lesson.
