A day where we are in Dela Mar, a day where we are having a swimming class, and a day where full of laughs, joy, and memorable experience for us as a one section. This day will be part of the best experience that i have, in this day there are so many lessons that I’ve got. It was my first time to have a swimming class and it’s hard for me to adjust in this class because i have no experience in swimming class and the most worst is I dont know how to swim.
Water Safety Lesson last January 17, 2020 at Dela Mar, Iligan City
At first I thought that I am only the one who doesn’t know how to swim but guess what most of my classmates don’t know how to swim. So it is very great experience for us to have knowledge and learnings in swimming. So the first thing that we did is sir Fajardo divide us in to three groups for the activity, after that we did stretching and excise so that our body and muscles would not felt pain and to be ready when we under go to our swimming activity.
So after stretching I really felt scared and nervous of what would be the possible things that will happened to me because yes I dont know how to swim and what would be the result of my grade in this session and I dont have any idea of what would be the result of this event. So after stretching we did the 1st set of our activity which is the deferent kinds of entry and the deferent kinds of exit. So I was really happy in the 1st set because it is not really quite hard fo me. So after that we proceed to the 2nd set which is the deferent kinds of stroke, in this set it is already hard for me because some of the strokes are hard and I doesn’t perfectly achieve the strokes that we must be done. So in the test two I’m not really contented of what I’ve done.
So after the 2nd set we immediately proceed to the last set which is about the security, safety and rescue during the swimming activity. In the last set it has a three kind of rescue activity. First thing is the rope which is it is also useful when there is something danger that happening in a swimming activity. The first thing to do is I immediately get the rope and bend my left knee and put the left hand to the bended knee and arrange the rope in a similar size so that it will not short when I throw it to the person that in danger in the pool and then after that is I throw it to the person so that he/she get it and when he/she finally hold the rope I immediately pull the rope so that the victim will be safe.
Second is the deferent kinds of floating there is three groups and we are having a competition of who’s group can perfectly did the specific floating that we must do and luckily our group is the consistent group that always won so we have a price for it which is a plus points of our scores. Lastly is the most enjoyable and most scary of the activity which is the scenario of the boat that is sinking. So first thing that we would do is to jump to a 16 ft deep of water and it was the very challenging and very scary part of the activity. So when it is already my turn I was really felt nervous because it was my first time to jump in a 16 ft of water and yes as I’ve said I dont know how to swim, so I really sacrifice my self to jumped because it is graded activity and i must do it and for me also to have a confident and to experience that particular thing so luckily I did it and when I’ve already jumped on the pool I was so proud of my self because I did it and it was safe also because we are wearing a life jacket. After that is we also did the deferent kind of safety when we are in the water. Sir Fajardo challenge us a scenario of what should we do during there is typhoon and when we are in the water, and what should be the effective way on how can we survive our self in that particular danger. So in this event it was very useful for me, I really thank sir Fajardo for teaching us those different activity of swimming and the deferent safety during swimming.
I will really miss this event and it will be part of the important experience that I’ve done. I really enjoyed this activity and I know all of my classmates also enjoyed. So in this activity i thought it was just for us to learned but it is also for us to enjoy for every activity that we are having. In this activity i learned how to cooperate and unite when there is a specific danger that happening, i learned how so communicate when we are calling for help and I learned how to save my self for having that kind of problems. So in this event I’ve learned that we can easily do thins and we can easily learned things by the help of the other. This day will be memorable for me.
