My name is Freija and I am going to tell you about swimming. As part of our physical education in OLV we attend 10 weeks of swimming lessons. We have our swimming lessons in the Ballymun swimming pool every Friday. During the first lesson, the instructors test all the students in the smaller pool to see what swimming level group to put everyone in. They teach you how to control your breathing while swimming and all the different swimming strokes.
One of my favourite parts of swimming is when we swim to the bottom of the pool and pick up the weighted block to bring to the surface. Our swimming coaches are really nice and give us time at the end of the lesson to go play with our friends in the smaller pool before we have to get ready to return to school. So far 5th and 6th classes have done their swimming lessons this school year and 4th and 3rd classes will start their swimming lessons in the new year.
