A group of our Year 6 children yesterday took part in a Swim Safe session at Lavender Hall Lake, where we were blessed with a very sunny afternoon!
For some, the first challenge of the day was simply getting into their wetsuits and swim hats!
Then came the next challenge… the cold water!
Despite the initial shock of stepping in to the cold water, the children got stuck into a range of practical activities, including practicing survival techniques, staying calm in the water and learning what to do if they ever find themselves in difficulty.
It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to experience open water in a safe and supervised environment while developing important water safety skills.
There was lots of fun had by all, and the children showed great resilience and had a wonderful sense of humour throughout the session!
