Deep Water Challenge

Off we went to the Olympic Pools in the middle of a southerly storm! It didn't rain but it was cold. Brrrrr! But we took up the challenge and completed all tasks. We wanted to assess if we are safe in water. The tasks were...

• enter the dive pool safely
• float in the dive pool with floating aids
• get together in the huddle position - this saves warmth, energy and keeps everyone together
• show the help position - a way of staying afloat for a long time that saves energy
• inflate a long-sleeved shirt and use it as a floatation aid
• step off the diving boards and enter the water safely (some of us went off the top board!) 

We all had a go at everything.

 Room 2 - you did well (especially on such a cold day)    

Ka mau te wehi!
