Our WET Adventure (Vero Whitewater Park)

Friday 21st of June marks the very first day I have ever done rafting or kayaking in my life. This special moment took place at the Manukau Vero Whitewater Park.  

My favourite part was swimming. We had a chance to jump off the plastic barrels and we later got pushed by the current and the big waves. Once we went past the metal stairs  we had to perform freestyle until we went to the stairs. We couldn't MISS it or else we would have ended up in the middle of the lake. 

Swimming Reflection

For the past few weeks room 10 ad other classes have been swimming.

Improvement
For the past weeks I have improved on how long I can swim. Last year I could not swim to the other side of the pool, which was 15 metres. This year I could swim to the end and also kick off the wall as well. The only thing is that I did not make it far and that's alright. I have also improve in back stroke, by also using my arms.

I really hope we can swim again!!

What I Want To Improve On..

This is me about like two days ago. In swimming some people think I am a very fast swimmer but I am not. Either way something I want to improve on is back stroke. Back stroke is when you have to lie on your back and then do your freestyle arms but backwards at the same time. For some people it's very easy, but for me it's extremely difficult.

I learnt the secret about floating on my back. To me that actually felt much more better, instead of just floating on my back and my legs sinking. Every week for swimming we have tutors and we split up into two groups, Our tutors name was Fancy Nancy. She is hilarious and she made everybody laugh before we got into the pool.
