What a week it's been! The seniors have had 2 swimming sessions every day for a week. They're exhausted, happy and the improvement in their swimming has been sensational! Ka mau te wehi!

This week we are doing swimming. In the Senior Hub we do swimming twice a day. I really like swimming because it’s fun and a bit sporty and also a bit relaxing. My favourite stroke is the one on your side because I find it a little challenging which makes it really fun. Another really cool thing we did was use life jackets! It was pretty cool. We did all the same stuff, except in a life jacket!! On the first day of swimming it was raining and when we got to the pool we were already soaked!

Swimming is fun!

We all did swimming with life jackets.

I love kicking and sculling on my back.

My breaststroke is good.

My instructor is nice, she helps me with my backstroke.

I love doing breaststroke.

Now I have improved a bit in swimming.

Going to swimming every day is fun!

Hi. My name is Jayven Marsh and I will be talking about swimming! My favourite thing about it was backstroke and sidestroke. I am proud of swimming sideways. I love to do anything but swimming is my favourite thing.

Strong strokes sailing through the water.

Water rippling as we glide through the water.

Incredibly fast swimmers.

Magically swimming as fast as a blur.

Many fast, slow and in between swimmers.

I absolutely love swimming.

New strokes are the best thing to learn.

Gaining confidence in the water.

Swimming was amazing.

We used life jackets.

It is hard to do backstroke but it is fun.

My instructor helped me push through it.

Me and my friend Isla are in the same group.

I love doing breaststroke.

Now I have improved in my swimming.

Giant splashes coming out of the water.
