Water Safety

We enjoyed our Water Safety lessons down at the Parnell Baths. For our first session last week, we practiced floating because it is important to know how to float in an emergency. 

We learned how to save others safely in our second session today. When we see someone panicking in the water, it is essential to communicate and find useful objects to pull the person out. We must remember to get low when we are doing the pulling and keeping ourselves safe during the rescue. 

We also practiced how to stay safe in water when wearing a life jacket. We linked our arms and floated on our backs as a team. We are looking forward to our lesson number three on Friday!
