The first week of swimming, “Yaaaaay we’re finally going to do something cool!” I said in my mind. I just couldn’t stop chattering excitedly to my friends. It was freezing as I squeezed my arms into the wet and clammy life jacket. It was a tight fit and I couldn’t stop fidgeting with it. Chris came and adjusted my it for me.
Chris was our instructor and he is here to help us with water safety for the rest of the term. It is an amazing opportunity to learn about it. He works for Water Safety NZ. On the first day of week 4 a huge portable pool had magically appeared on the school’s senior courts. Chris is going to be taking us every Wednesday.
Jumping into the pool I was shivering and shaking, My teeth started chattering. My lips went purple as the water was freezing cold. Chris told us to get in the help position for ten seconds to conserve our energy.
“Hold onto each others life jacket” Chris said we huddled up. We formed a circle and sang the New Zealand anthem while Chris spun us around. When we were finished we practise the doggy paddle.
