All of the learners were fortunate enough to have a 'Water Skills for Life' session run by Jackie from Swimming New Zealand.

 During this session learners did a range of activities that supported their skills in:

Water safety and awareness skills
Getting in and out of the water
Going under the water - Submersion
Floating on the water - Personal Buoyancy
Rolling and turning in the water - Orientation
What to do in an emergency - Safety of self and others
Moving through the water - Propulsion

'Water Skills for Life' establishes broad fundamental competencies for lifelong water safety. It gives learners the skills and knowledge they need to assess risk and make smart decisions around water so they can stay out of trouble and survive should they ever get into trouble in water.
