Water Safety

Coach Craig from Kelly's Sports came to teach us all about Water Safety today. He talked to us about how we should put a stick in the river to see how deep it is. In order to find out if the river is too swift for us to swim in, we should throw a stick in and see how fast it floats downstream. If it goes so fast that we have to walk fast or even run to keep up with it, we should NOT swim in the river.

We learnt how to float in different positions and what positions are best to float in eg: make our bodies into the shape of the letters i, y, t or x. We learnt how to swim efficiently too.
