Swimming to Survive

Over the last two weeks we have had Tracy come to our school to teach us about staying safe in the water and what to do when someone is in danger, for example caught in a rip or out of their depth in the water. We have practised using lifejackets and forming huddles to keep ourselves warm and chains to get us moving towards the shore as a group so we don't lose anyone.
We have learnt lots of important skills from Tracy already and we can't wait until she comes back next week to teach us more. Even though this was really important, serious information we still had heaps of fun !!

    Kia ora Nga Motu. I enjoyed seeing your photos about the Swim Safe programme with Tracey. I am happy you are being taught how to be safe in and around water. Have you shared with your family what you have learned?
