The End of Swimming Lessons

Today is our last day of our Canterbury Swim School lessons. I was a bit unhappy, but it was really fun swimming 🏊. Like every year, we have water safety at the last day of our swimming lessons. If you haven't seen my last post about the first day of Swimming lessons at Canterbury Swim School, click here. Now let's talk about my new goals that I have made, I didn't make goals when I posted my first swim, but today I am going to make new goals that I think that I will achieve. Yesterday our group tried to practice our jumps from the diving board. I took this goal because I was nervous when I was jumping down the diving board.

When we reached at Canterbury Swim School for our last lessons we had to bring our old cloths. We sat down on the bench and listened to the instructors. We  They first said to float on our backs. When we went into the pool it felt heavy because we wore our t-shirt, pants and swimming shorts. After doing that we tried to put our hands up while doing that (it was quite hard). We sank into the water. Also it was really fun doing that. Next we tried to float while not standing. We had to paddle like a bicycle and push gently, front and back. The instructor said to do it for 30 seconds. It was hard in 30 seconds. We had heaps of tries but it was hard to do it. Afterwards we switched groups and went on the other side. Now we had to pull our partner out of the pool. I was partnered with Josef. I was the person in the pool. They said to sit with your one foot up and one foot kneeling down. Josef pulled me up easily because he was strong. After my turn he pulled the foam noodle so tight that it made me let go. I was still on my goal to jump down the diving board. But it was the time to go back on the bus. The instructor said "Good Bye". To all of us. It was a really good time swimming at Canterbury Swim School. At Monday we will be swimming in our school pool. I hope you like my reflection about the last day swimming at Canterbury Swim School. Also hope you like my post. Have a cool 😎 day and week. Bye!!

The First Swim!

Today was our first swim at Canterbury Swim School this term. I was really excited about going to Canterbury Swim School and learn there. For the last few years I have been to Canterbury Swim School with our class. Today I am writing a reflective post about what happened at Canterbury Swim School. At 10:15 we changed to our togs and had our morning tea. Then we went to the bus. After reaching Canterbury Swim School we were put in 4 groups. In our group there was, Corbyn, Travis, Jolly-Rose, Sharney, Mackenzie and I. First the instructor said to float on our front and back. After doing that we did a lap of kicking. Then we did breathing. We had done about 4 laps of that. By that time it was to go back to school. We had swam for half an hour. Every time we had it for a hour, but this time it is for half an hour. It was a nice first day of Term 4. I hope you like my post have a cool 😎 day!! Bye!!

Below are my videos of me swimming.

Jellie Park

As you know or don't know I had a really good time with my family at Jellie Park. My favorite part was the swimming pool at the end. I will tell you what I did at Jellie Park...

We left at 3:40 to Jellie Park. My sister and I were really excited to go to Jellie Park. When we arrived at Jelly Park and went to the pools. First thing we went to a mini pool. My Mum and Dad practiced my Sister swimming. I was alone playing by myself. After 10 minutes we went out of the pool and went to the Preschool Pools.

It felt a bit colder than the last pool that we went. But after it felt normal. There was another pool on top that was a bit hot. So around after 4 minutes after my Sister and I went to the top pool. It was angled as a slope. It felt boring for me on that pool. I wanted to go to the spa pool and get my goggles.

After I took my goggles, my Mum, my sister and I went to the spa pool. The water was bobbling as a volcano 🌋 going to explode, I mean not that bobbling, but you get it right? It was nice and hot. I felt it like it was hotter than when I went to the spa pool at Hanmer Springs. There were some bubbling parts in the spa pool. It was a bit hurting by back.

After 5 minutes of resting I felt bored in the spa pool so I thought "I want to go to the deep pools."
I wanted to have a try jumping in the pool but I wanted to have a check how hot or cold is it. When I checked the water it was freezing cold because I came out of the Spa Pool. I went back in the Spa Pool. I wanted to swim in the deep pool but it was cold. After a few tries going in the pool I decided that it doesn't matter if I feel cold in the pool but I will go in the pool. It fell cold in the starting but it felt normal after. I did some dolphin dives in the water. But then we had to go home. We had a really awesome time at Jellie Park.

I hope you like my trip to Jellie Park. Have a cool 😎 day!! Bye!!
