Just keep swimming

Image result for doriOur swimming lessons this year couldn't have come at a better time! With 6 new children, it was the perfect opportunity to have some fun together is a different environment other than the classroom. Within our hour block we had a 30 min lesson and 30 mins to play and develop our confidence.

Swimming is an important skill to master and a difficult one. The children showed excellent resilience and perseverance with some of the challenges they faced during our lessons. By the end of the four sessions all children were able to put their face in the water and blow bubbles and some were even confident diving to collect weights from the bottom of the pool. They were all excellent listeners and had a good understanding of how to be safe around water.
A big thumbs up!
