Writing - Swimming

Getting Wet

I was jumping up and down singing ‘ring-a-ring-a-rosies’. My goal was getting wet so I tried and tried to get wet until my nose touched the water. Then I had done it! When I was jumping up and down singing ‘ring-a-ring-a-rosie’ I thought it was helping me to move in the water. I was still a little frightened of splashes the people made but day-by-day I got braver and braver. Swimming even helped me float with the board. I love swimming.

My Swimming Goal

I zoom through the open gate door. I zoom inside the open girls changing room door and I got changed very, very, quickly. I got out of the girls changing room and waited for my turn alongside the gate. Now it’s my groups turn to get in. I slide in the safe way. It was cold and chilly in the pool. My group is swimming lengths. My goal was pinkie finger out before the others for backstroke. I have to float on my back, get my motor legs ready, my ice cream scoop hands ready, and push off. My motor legs made huge and tiny bubbles. My ice cream scoop hands made me go fast. So did my motor legs. It was time to get out, grab my towel, and get changed. That was the end of swimming today. Time to go back to class. I love swimming.

    1. We have finished swimming now because it is too cold. We are lucky to have Sonja from Sports Waikato taking us for ball skills. Today we learned to throw and catch small balls.

  5. Wow it looks like you guys have lots of fun in swimming lessons. I have a question what is a backstroke and how do you get in the safe way? I hope you have time to answer my questions. I really like how you told us what you do for swimming lessons. Thanks for sharing your amazing comment!

    1. Backstroke is like freestyle only you float on your back and your arms go backwards. You have to put your head right back so that the water is touches your forehead and you don't sink. You put your pinkie up first when you take your hand out of the water, and you wave as your hand goes back towards the water. Then your hand makes an 's' under the water before it comes up again. You must kick your legs continually.

    1. The pool is shallow at one end and a little deeper at the other end but it only comes up to our necks. The pool is an outdoor pool so we are finishing swimming now as it is too cold.
