Cameron pools / Our school pool

                  Cameron pools/ Our school pool
On Tuesday we went to Cameron pools and we got to swim in life jackets. We have 3 Groups to take on the bus each time we go. I'm in group 3 with Mokoroa.  First we had to put the life jackets on and πŸ˜± FREEZING COLD!! Something I learnt went I put it on is that I saw sponges in the jacket and I explained to the life guards and everyone how it floats. If you don't know they're full of sponges to soak up the water and when it soaks up with water that means the air fills the spaces up and makes you float.🎈 The instructions are. Hold your nose with your left hand and hold your left shoulder with your right hand. πŸ‘ƒπŸ™ŒOnce your done the teacher lets you know when to take 1 step off the wall. After she tells you all to jump off you have to huddle into a group. We had to float on our back while we huddle, Kick left to right while we huddle. After all that huddling we have to make a train. Someone kept on pulling me really hard it felt so uncomfortable. I tried not to kick. Check out our photos
