Thirdly;We learnt freestyle and the things we needed to do for freestyle was our big circle arms.

Fourthly we learnt how to float on our stomachs and backs and we had fun at learning how to float.

Fifthly;We learnt how to kick in the water and and we used our legs to kick.

Lastly;We learnt how to do scissor legs and we used yellow kicking boards.

Then we stopped using our yellow kick boards and done our scissor legs all by ourselves.We had a lot of fun with our instructor Lauren.

It was so cool to have swimming lessons and we totally appreciated it.

The second thing we did was have a challenge to touch our bottoms to the ground and get back up than we did a duck stroke to the ramp and than our instructor told us to go to get the toys she throwed in the water. 

Everyone started jumping on the trampoline and we blowed bubbles when we were kicking we had to hold the wall so we don't  fall all the way to the bottom of the pool so we can learn to swim without holding the wall. 

We learnt lots of swimming tricks such as: Side stroke, free style, back float and a belly float. We even did rotation which you have to be on our belly for 5 seconds than we had to roll and stay on our back for 5 seconds

(Patene)-
when me and Zephyr went to the 
pool we were waiting  for our instructor to take us into the 
pool.
soon we went into  the pool we got
taught from our instructor.



(Zephyr)-In our group,we did; freestyle, and butterfly( also dolphin), and backstroke.So we started fresh by doing freestyle,so we have to do laps and laps non-stop.Who ever stands up have to go to the side of the lane rope and wait until the other person finish.So we started and doing some freestyle.Freestyle is when your arms are going round and round,you have to do three arms then when you breath you have to lay on your arm to breath then keep on going until you get it.

For our warm up we have to stay underwater for five seconds and see who can touch the ground.
