What you’ll learn
I can perform a fall in entry, resurface and rotate onto the back and can swim 25m.
Key learning points
- Move: swimming increasingly longer distances requires an effective swimming technique.
- Move: after a fall in entry the head should be protected and the body rotated to a safe position.
- Think: knowing what action is required if you are to fall into water requires reflection.
- Feel: striving to want to succeed and produce the best distance we are capable of demonstrates self-motivation.
- Connect: giving accurate feedback to another pupil requires trust that the feedback is received in good faith.
Words to know
