Swimming

It is a very busy first 2 weeks in Year 6. Every afternoon we are going swimming at Horwich Leisure Centre. We are really excited to be getting back into the pool, having swimming lessons and showing the instructors the progress that we have made since they last saw us. Some of us can even dive in and retrieve objects from the bottom of the pool!

Tell me some of the skills you have learned during you swimming lessons.

    When everyone went swimming there was group 1 and group 2 I was in group 1. The swimming the technique I learnt was to keep my arms straight and my legs kicking underwater.

    Swimming was so fun I love diving in the pool all the different strokes I learned. The party was so fun we got all the floats out and balls. My favourite part was definitely diving and jumping in!

    I loved going to Horwich leisure centre every afternoon for 2 weeks because we learn so much life saving skills there and how to signal for help. When you need help and you can’t swim or you drowning you have to tread water with our feet and one hand and the other hand you need to wave in the air and shout help so the life guards know to come and save/help you. We leaned how to dive in we learned front crawl and forward stroke even backwards stroke and more. On the last Friday (the second Friday) we got to have a party in the small pool where it’s warm and also quite big. We got to use floaties and play with the beach balls. We could also swim if we wanted to do. We had an hour in the pool which was really fun. We got certificates on the last day as well for what we have achieved across them two weeks. There was three group a group with armbands in the small pool and two groups in the deep massive pool. I am super excited to go back next year and hope to do something fun and challenging to learn!

    For two weeks we’ve been going swimming it was fun and it’s really important in life because if you are stuck in the ocean and it’s a really bad weather you can use your swimming skills to save our self’s when you stuck . But it was so fun at the pool party I played with my friends we had floaties and doge balls.

    We had a swimming lessons for 2 weeks and we did lots of fun stuff together. So we did is that if people can swim so we couldn’t touch the floor of the pool then if you did you had to wear armbands then if you didn’t touch the ground you had no bands then you would go to the big pool.

    Today was the best day ever because we got to do swimming for a whole two weeks and I absolutely loved it, on the first day of jumping, I was super nervous but eventually after a few tries I managed to do it! With lots of encouraging from Mrs Hart, thank you so much for the amazing swimming opportunity and we got to do a party! It was so much fun, I absolutely loved it, I also realised that the deep pool wasn’t even bad either.

    We went swimming for two weeks . I didn’t like jumping in the big pool because I had to stand on my tip toes just to get my face out of the water. I liked going backwards because I was faster than forwards. The last day of swimming was super fun we had to wait 15 minutes to get into the pool they got out the floats and also the balls.
