The pool

The pool is 15 metres long and 1 metre deep.  Our instructors names were Jillian and Kevin.

The pool smells like chlorine because of the germs that go inside the pool and  when somebody  jumps inside the pool the chlorine protects us from it all. The water is nice clean and warm.  

At the end of the pool are some pipes that run water from the pump on the outside of the tent.  It is in a big tent that is called a marquee. There is a machine that goes in the water that helps keep the water warm.

I have really liked having the pool at school.  It is so much fun floating and doing backstroke.

A covenant.

A covenant is a sacred serious agreement promise between God and Gods people.

Swimming Lessons

Last week we had Swimming it was really good fun.  We learnt how to do kicking and breathing.   

We had to touch the metal poles around the corners of the pool with our hands. We learnt how to do gliding by stretching out our hands in front of us, keeping our head down and our legs in a line. We also learnt how to float on our backs by holding on to a board and kicking our feet.

We were happy when Kevin said “you guys have free time for 1 minute”. We got this because we were good. I did diving under the water and I tried my best to do backstroke.

After an awesome swim we were told to get out of the pool. I was cold and shivering I grabbed my towel and headed back to class to get changed. then after we got change in our school uniform.
