Swimming

This week and last week some of our year levels participated in the swimming program with Surrey Park Swim School. 

The students had a great week and loved meeting their swimming instructor, waving to the lifeguards and swimming with their peers. Here are some student comments and highlights from the week. 

Shekhar 4SM – My favourite day at swimming was the fun day. We were allowed to go on the water playground and sit in the shallow water. It was like a spa.

Athena 4SM – I thought it was fun on the Safety Day. We got to wear life jackets and jump off the edge into the deep pool.

Benita 4MQ – My favourite part of the swimming program was when we did a dolphin race to try and collect the hoops.

Elena 4MQ – I really liked the fun day and going in the playground where the bug bucket filled with water and then spilled all over us.

Mia 5O - I enjoyed swimming, I liked how the instructors were honest with us. They taught us lots of new strokes. My favourite part was the deep pool, playing on pool noodles and learning how to use life jackets.

Daniel 5O -  It was fun, I learnt new strokes and improved on others. The games were a lot of fun, I really liked diving for the sinking weights. I feel I have really improved in swimming.

Isaac 5E - What I liked most about swimming was learning different techniques. I loved the fun day and playing awesome games. The playground and the big bucket that poured water over our heads was my favourite. Safety day was also fun. 

Alexia 5E - What I like most about swimming was that the teachers are always nice to you and they make sure you're safe. The swimming playground was the best! It's very fun, especially the slide!

It sounds like the swimming program was well received by our students and they've had a lot of fun over the past few weeks at Aqualink. Well done to all of our swimmers!
