Swimming recount

   Swimming Recount

Splish splash went the water as room 6 got in.  Panmure Bridge was excited for their first swimming lesson for term 1.  There was a man named Mr. Burton who took group 1 for their first swimming lesson. There was another man as well, his name was Mr. Nepia, he took group 2 for some games the first game was baseball we got split up into groups one group was batting and the others were fielding.

Ms. Kirkpatrick came and called the other group.  My friends and I got changed into our togs. At first I thought the water was going to be deep but it was just right for my friends and I. The first stroke we learnt was freestyle and to kick your feet underneath the water.  When we first did freestyle there were about three boys who got comments on how well they swam.

The rest of us had to do freestyle again because we were not doing the strokes properly so we kept on doing it until we got it right. In the end we got it and we got to have free time.  We did handstand competitions and see who could hold their breath underneath the water for the longest.

It was time to get out and get changed we quickly got changed so we could go back to class it was so cool learning how to freestyle.
