Surf Safe

On the 20th November room 6 and 19 from Waikanae school went to Paekakariki surf safe visit. To learn how to be safe in the ocean/beach and how to get out of rips.

When we got there  we went up stairs to the clubhouse to take of our bags and our shoes then the live gourds introduced themselves to us. Then we talked about the 5 rules and safety skills. Next we split into two groups room 19 looked at the saftey kit with life guard Ryan and Matt. Room 6 had a tour with lifeguard Tayler.

On the tour we looked at the 4x4 and the irb and all the boards,body boards and others.Then we went Back upstairs to swap places with room 19 so we where looking at the saftey kit and room 19 was on the tour. The medical kit was massive. Next we went down on the beach for some games first we played seaweed and then relay and relay with flippers on.

Then we went back in the clubhouse to have some lunch. Next we got on our togs and some of us wetsuits I got on my wetsuit on .When we got to the water we went for a run and stretched before we went in but while we were doing that the parents formed a circle and we had to swim inside it so we could not go too deep. First we did races with the life gourds and then we could swim we did not have boards. So we just swum the waves after that we got changed and went back on the bus.

That was a really fun for all of us and i hope we do it again.
