Water Saftey

L.I To explain the skills learnt at swimming

Swimming is a important skill to be learnt in case you are having a emergency in the water, it also really important to be reminded how use the skills you have been taught at swimming, for example two of the skills we have learnt are skulling and dolphin dive. It’s always best to also make sure there is a life jacket on the boat you are on because if you don’t know how to swim the life jacket is able to keep you floating making sure that you don’t drown.

Water Safety

L.I To explain about the awareness in the water

For this task I created a DLO talking about awareness in the water and water safety. Its important to always sure that you know where you’re life jaket is  and if you have one on the boat. This reason is important because you never know when something bad could happen, if there are more people  on the boat and your trying to survive. Mabey its best to try doing a huddle because it keeps in the body heat. Also make sure to put old people, little kids or injured people in the middle since they are ones to most likely not to be able to float or hold the huddle together for long.

I enjoyed this activity because I got learn new startergys to keep warm in the water.
