The Middle School Swimming Sports is on 4th March, so it was time to practise the races so we knew what to do on the big day.
First, our best swimmers swam free style up and down the length of the pool so we could see who was ready for the competitive races. You need to be able to swim a length of the pool without stopping to be in the competitives.
Then everyone had a go at the Wheelbarrow, the Dolphin Push and the Flitter Flutter.
All swimmers will compete in two races: some people will compete in the competitive race and one novelty race, and other people will compete in two novelty races.

In the Wheelbarrow, you swim with a buddy: one person runs with a noodle around
their waist, and the other person holds onto each end of the noodle and kicks to provide
extra power as they are pulled along.

In the Flitter Flutter, you have to keep a glass of water balanced on your flutterboard
as you move through the water. |
Looks like fun! I'm sure the swimming carnival will be really enjoyable.
