Swimming skills for life

On Monday our swimming group did the swimming skills for life. You have to wear clothes and life jackets. You wear clothes so you can feel how heavy they get when they're wet. We jumped off a little diving board and covered our mouth and nose in a special way that gives us more support on our lifejacket so we can jump in and not swallow any water. 

We made a line together and kicked to the other end of the lane to stay together and not float away. We also did a huddle to keep us warm and together. After that, we learned how to put our life jackets on in the water in case we needed to in a boat accident. 

Overall it was super fun and we loved it.
