On the 27th of June the first day of swimming I was really excited, we needed our swimming gear which was a swimming bag or a bag that can fit your swimming gear, a towel, some goggles if you want to use them, our jumpers to keep us warm after and our swimming caps. Some girls didn’t have or like swimming caps so they had to tie their hair in a bun, the Year 6 girls would go to Room 6 and the Year 7 girls would go to Room 8, us Year 6 and 5 girls would have to wait for the Room 6 boy’s to get changed, once they were done us girls would go into the classroom and get changed, and after we got changed the Room 6, 7 and 8 boys would go on the bus and the bus would take them to SwimMagic school. The year 6 girls would use the Room 6 ball and the Year 7 and 8’s would use the basketballs and play.
Then when our bus would arrive the Room 6 would go first then the Room 8 would go after them, the Room 6 would take the front seats, the Year 6 and 7 would take the middle seats and the Room 8 would be at the back. Then when we arrived at the SwimMagic School we’d always for the boys to finish their lessons with the Coaches, when their done we’d put our towels down on the bench and get into our lanes. I forgot which lane I was in but the coach was really fun to have, her name is Coach Seb she was fun.
On the last day of swimming I was really excited to go on the boats again but this years one was different, before we got on the boat one of the coaches gave some of us some life jackets, that was the first time I wore a life jacket it felt really uncomfortable at first but then I got used to it. Later on we got to go on the boat, it could only hold 4 people at a time, when we got on the boat we had to fall backwards it was fun.
When all of us had fallen off the boat we got seperated into 3 teams then we had to race eachother to the end It probably doesn’t really matter who won but it was really fun. After that we had to climb out of the water and face the wall, one of the coaches pushed someone at a time then we fell into the water, after we fell into the water we had to take off our life jackets, climb out of the water, grab our stuff and say goodbye, when we got back from swimming I quickly got changed, went to my classroom, said karakia and went home. I loved to do swimming it was really fun and the Coaches were fun too, im really excited for next years swimming.
