Water Safety

In swimming this week room 8 have been focusing on water safety. Today we discussed water safety when on a boat or when fishing. Some points that we discussed were:


  • ALWAYS wear a life jacket - you never know what could happen
  • Let someone on land know when and where you are going and how long you intend to be out for
  • Get into the H.E.L.P position if you are stranded
  • Use the huddle position with others to keep safe and warm
We then acted out some scenarios where we needed to get into the H.E.L.P and Huddle positions before swimming 140 meters to get back to shore.

It made me think of when I was in the water and i nearly drowned i was waving at the lifeguard. Have you thought about making a slide of the children doing it.
