We had another great Water Safety session with Averil. We practiced saving people in rough conditions. We made the pool rough by splashing and pushing the water with our body boards.
We had to save our friends using the body board. We made sure it was attached to our wrists and threw the body board to them and told them to hold on.
Once they were on we could tow them back to shore. A good way to swim back is to hug the board and swim on your back.
We also learnt some different ways to float:
 |
| Lie on your back to save energy. |
 |
| Mushroom hold is useful in the surf, if you get pushed around in the waves. |
