How to Swim

Swimming is an important lesson everyone in New Zealand needs to know. If you are at a beach and the tide is really strong and you get washed out to sea, you will need to learn to swim and this is how you do it.

1. The first thing you need to know is how to keep afloat  above the water.

2. You need to start off in the shallow end. Then you need to move your arms around and around in a sort of motion until you are moving and then you start kicking.

3. When you are kicking and moving your arms make sure you are looking at the bottom of the pool which makes your body flat against the the top of the water.

4. When you are going swimming again well you need to learn how breath and swim at the same time. Well you’re in luck because I know how to do it. When you are kicking and moving your arms you have to tilt on your side with your ear on your arm and always remember you only have a few seconds of air so make it quick.

  

5. When you have done that you will have to do that until you are where you want to be.
