Day One: Water Safety

On Thursday we were in the big pool learning that

• we can float on lots of things we might be using in the water like balls and buckets.
• we need to check the depth of the water we are going in.
• if the water is too deep we can hold on and use our monkey crawl to move along the side of a pool.
• we can jump into water that is deep.
• if the water is too deep we can tread water and swim back to safety.
• we can use our muscles to pull ourselves out of the water.

These things were all very tricky wearing our clothes because our clothes hold onto the water and make us heavier.
