Swim Safe with Tracy

This Tuesday a visitor called Tracy came to Paihia School talk to us about dry land swimming. We talked about what to do if you see someone drowning, if you are drowning, if there is a rip and more. The most interesting thing I learned was when you seen someone drowning don’t go in yourself, run to a lifeguard or a really confident swimmer as soon as possible to get help; this prevents yourself from getting in any danger caused by the drowning person. Even if we are confident swimmers we are still just as capable of drowning as others. I really enjoyed her visit and can’t wait to start swimming in the pool sometime soon.
