YAY!! It's that time of the year again! When we get to visit our local Council Pool, Cameron Pool, and participate in the Greater Auckland Aquatic Action Plan. OR GAAAP programme.
"Greater Auckland Aquatic Action Plan (GAAAP) is a collaborative initiative that coordinates 8-10 professionally delivered Water Skills for Life lessons to primary school children in the greater Auckland region, ensuring the development of fundamental water skills for life."
That is we visit for 10 sessions of water safety and some swimming tips. 150 students in total from our school go down in 3 different rotations and have 30min lessons. The lessons are paid for by the council and government in the interest of teaching water safety and preventing people from drowning.
Our first session was heaps of fun. We showed what we could do with floating on our front and back, then using the boards to kick and streamline. After the lessons a smaller group of students are doing extra swimming to build up their speed, stamina and swimming techniques to see if they can be entered into our local school swimming zones.
