Swimming Lessons at School

Part of the curriculum in the Public Schools in New Zealand is swimming! Due to the fact that they we are surrounded by ocean, lakes, and rivers it is very important to learn to swim here. I personally think it is important for all children to learn to swim. We have had many swimming lessons before, but it was really fun to see some of the similarities and difference in what they teach here.

So for two weeks I joined Logan's class on the bus to the near by King's Swim School! It was fun to get to watch, get to know the kids, and meet some of the other parents!Logan and his friend RaymondKids making a current so they can practice swimming through one!Safety Day...practicing with life jacketsLearning to make a human raft
