During the first week of term 4, all the children traveled down to the Oamaru Aquatic centre to participate in swimming lessons. Each child was placed in a group and had an 30 minute lesson with a qualified swim instructor. Was great to see the progress made over the week and our confidence grow.
Swimming is part of the curriculum and is another way we can be active whilst learning about water safety
The skills we developed were:
Water confidence
Swimming technique
Water safety
Endurance and fitness
Here is a video about swim safety in the pool and ocean.
