Swimming

Swimming has been great over the last 2 weeks and we have been learning some great but hard techniques with Miss Tito and also Mr Harris was joining in and trying to teach us the same thing. So I am going to tell you what we learned,what style we did, and what kind of technique we used.

When we got their on the first week we were learning how to go faster in freestyle by doing the technique called fingers. Fingers meant that we had to glide our fingers across the water instead of doing a full arm. At first I thought it was going to be easy but I was wrong it was a lot harder than what it seemed to look because everyone was failing.When it was my turn I tried my hardest to get it right but...... it was not good enough. Miss Tito was the teacher teaching us this technique which was terribly difficult and after the final day of week 1 swimming we still had not conquered it.

It was week 2 of swimming and we were ready to master fingers with Miss Tito when we realised that Miss T wasn’t here but Mr Harris was and he was the replacement teacher in swimming. So another lesson on fingers and another and another until finally someone had got it right and that person showed us how to do it and we actually learned the technique fingers. We had finally learnt it and everyone was proud of themselves. But swimming had to come to an end and it did but I’m still proud that I mastered fingers.
