Today the children had the opportunity to experience swimming in their clothes to feel how heavy clothing can be and know that they can still swim and be safe.
They started on the side of the pool and fell backwards to simulate falling off a boat.
The tamarki then used random objects as floating devices. We finished the session with putting life jackets on our buddies while they were floating. Huddling together helps increase warmth while waiting to be rescued.
The last two days of water safety have been absolutely amazing!!!!
Check out the video and some pictures of our tamariki in action
