Swimming - Term 2, 2019

We have had a fantastic term of swimming at the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre in Kilbirnie. We had useful lessons on different strokes and some of us got to practice special skills such as kayaking, diving and snorkelling. We also had plenty of fun times in the play pool! We are now looking forward to our Senior Swimming Sports in early term 3. He pai ki a mātou te kaukau! (We love swimming!) 

Check out some of our reflections on swimming and photos below:
