Swim for Life with Whaea Rhonda - Weeks 2 and 3


The students have been enjoying taking part in the 'Swim for Life Programme' with Whaea Rhonda. She has been teaching the students how to be safe in and around water.

In class the students have been sharing their learning with each other:

  • If I get pushed off a boat, I will do the mushroom float - Mason T
  • Whaea Rhonda showed us how to save each other with a noodle, Jai was my partner and he was fantastic at pulling me in. - Anahera
  • When you signal for help, lie on your back and put your hand straight up in the air and yell for help. - Cleo
  • The mushroom float helps you float when you are in trouble. - Arahia
  • If you are cold in the water, you wrap your arms around your legs and curl into a ball.
  • The mushroom float is when you are like a mushroom  in the water. If you are in the water, you tuck your chin to your chest and put your knees up and you will float back up. - Jai
  • When signalling for help, just put your hand straight up, do not wave it around. - Millan
We are all looking forward to our final session with Whaea Rhonda on Monday 18th February.
