For writing an amazing swimsafe recount which you can read on our blog bellow!

Swim safe

This is what I loved about swim safe. I loved going in the diving pool and doing free back as well. We had to leave at 9.00. When we got there they called the roll and I went with Nicola and then Nicola said
"lets get in the pool with the ladder."After that we did our backstroke and freestyle and breast stroke. I also liked playing trucks and trailer and that is what I liked about swim safe.

From Ashleigh

Swimsafe

We did swimming at water world last week. First we went on the bus . Then we went and got changed. Next we hopped into the pool. My group started with freestyle. The next day we practiced breathing then we had a story and morning tea then we did cross country after we played on the playground. The next day we went into the deepest pool. We had to save each other. Then next day Geon vomitted in the pool. So we went in the bigger pool. My instructer was Olivia. It was awesome. The end. From Billy

Wow last week we had swim safe! It was super-doper-triple-doper fun!!! There were 3 instructors there names were Olivia, Jason and Nicola. My instructor was Nicola. On Thursday we went in the diving- pool!

Swim safe

On Monday Tuesday Wednesday  Thursday and Friday the year 3 and 4 people went to Swim safe! I thought it was fun because on Thursday my group got to go in the dive pool. It was 6.4 meters deep! My favorite thing I did at Swim safe was step ins with no life jacket in the dive pool. All the things we did in swim safe were doggy paddling, backstroke, freestyle. then you got to swap between freestyle and backstroke. we tried breaststroke aswell. By Olivia

Going to Swim-Safe

It was very exciting but time went fast. How fast did it go? "Hi Water-World it's the last day".It was good that we got to go on a school trip. It's was the juniors turn when we got there. They were being as excited as we were. We went with room six and room ten to Water-World We went last week. We got there at half past nine and we got back at half past eleven. Because it was Swim-Safe week. We went on a bus.
