Why you should go swimming

On Wednesday 6th August 2022 my class and I went swimming at Manurewa Leisure Center. You’re most probably thinking “why are they going swimming in winter?” Well,  random person who asked that question the pools are heated and we are funded by John Walker Field of Dreams charity. They even have a minivan that’s sponsored! 

Once we got to Manurewa Leisure Centre Pools and we hopped in the pool  then we got put into groups and they made us swim to see what groups we were suitable for and  I was in group two! I thought swimming was gonna be boring when I got there but it was actually fun. 

We learnt how to swim freestyle and how to swim with one hand and breath. After we used flutter boards we balanced them on our heads and the lady tried to splash the flutter boards off our heads. Mine came off so much I think I lost. Other than losing everything was great!

I’m so excited for next Wednesday. I’m sure we’ll be learning much more in the next term. Once we do I might be a professional swimmer!
