Are you excited for swimming? 

By Inara and Lara, 5D

Well the time has come. The happiness has begun. As I walked to the swimming pool with confidence, I was ready. It was my time to shine. No literally, even though it was 31 degrees. The water was cold, later lukewarm, it was so refreshing, I could stay there for hours! This is swimming, come along!

In swimming we are learning about different strokes. We have learned proper techniques for freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. We are using devices such as kickboards and noodles to help us focus on our kicking, or focus on our arms. We have been swimming all week and we have been looking forward to this all year!
