During Weeks 4 and 5 the Junior School children went to the Clive Indoor Pools to work on their swimming skills. Here are the Room One children's thoughts.
I have been at the pools. It is indoors. It was new Clive pools. I tried to do freestyle. It was hard to do with goggles. The pool was enormous. I had a teacher called Paula. Paula is cool and fun. It was almost perfection. I might be better at floating than freestyle. But definitely better at freestyle in the little pools. Because there is a thing which means you need to swim in the big pools when you are floating. It felt like drowning!!

I went swimming. I dived into the water. I had to get sinking things. I could float on my back. I can swim fast. The safe side to get in the pool is to go on the steps. Then I go under the water.

At swimming I learn about floating on my back and the pool is blue and I get changed and I said thank you and I was happy.
By Leyton
The teachers taught me how to do swimming and do freestyle on my tummy and that was fun.
I liked it.
By Naomi
Splash!! I went swimming. I was sinking and then I stood up because I was running out of breath and then I kept swimming. In the Clive Pools I put on the goggles and float backwards. I kicked faster. I like swimming. I like the warm water. I like pools. I like swimming pools.

I was swimming. I liked it. I was delighted. I want to go there again.

Today we learnt about seat dives with your arms behind your ears and with no legs kicking. I went fast like a red flame speedboat with heaps of horsepower and I almost donged my head on the bottom of the pool.

At the Clive Pool today I did freestyle and I was exhausted... Splash and then we did starfishes and we floated.

The teacher was throwing animals. It was fun. We went to learn and it was cool.

Splash in the pools I did a big jump in it. Then we were floating. Then we did streamlining.

We have to get in safely in the pool. We do freestyle and it's my favourite part.
