Our 1st Day of Swimming-Thursday April 24

Our first day of swimming lessons was fun (for most of us)! We got to swim for 45 minutes in the warm, salty water at the St. James Civic Centre.  We learned some pool rules and saw that they were posted on the wall there too.  Some of the pool rules include, no running on the pool deck, no diving in the shallow end, no jumping in the water at the same time as someone else, etc.

Thomas liked doing the "pencil dive" in the deep-end.  Cyrus loved trying to get his feet on the ground in the deep-end. Marisa had fun floating in the deep-end!  Jessy had a stomachache :(.  Eddie liked being in the water.  Duncan had fun holding his breath and going to the very bottom of the pool.  Skyla had so much fun swimming that she was laughing every second. Julia had a great time treading water and Alex said the slide was "fast"! Gaby liked EVERYTHING! (of course)

The girls were the first ones onto the pool deck but Ben says, "That's not fair!  Mr. G. told the boys to line up inside the change room instead.  Plus, there are 16 boys who needed to get ready."

 But…… those 16 boys were faster than all the girls coming OUT of the change room.  Billy insists that you know that there were only 6 girls.

Swimming was awesome and we can't wait to go again next week!  (Well, all of us except for Billy who says he didn't like it.)

Sincerely,
Team 25
