Lloyd Elsmore Water Safety Lesson

Water Safety on PhotoPeach

We learnt to do a pin drop because if there is danger when you are on a high boat you can do a pin drop to get into the water. Caitlin

When we got into the water we had to swim on our backs. The life jacket made it easy to swim on our backs. James and Andrea

We learnt to do back drops, which we would use off a small boat. Shiv and Felicity

We learnt how to huddle. We would use this is the deep ocean to help keep warm. We need to stay together and not let go. The smallest children go in the middle. You need to tuck your legs up and use your feet to hold up a small child. If you let go you might get lost.  Jingwen, Alex, Jack, Saadiq, Savannah and Kingston

Look for danger. Keep still and slowly move away from the danger. Felicity and Advik

We learn that in an emergency we need to keep calm. James

Always have a life jacket on when you are in a boat. Andrea

We practised moving in lines to get to the boat quickly when help comes. You have to kick sideways  so you don't kick the person in front of you. You have to hold on to the armholes of the life jacket in front of you.  If you are in the front you have to kick hard to help your line. Felicity, Ethan, Coredae, Molly, Jaden and Trinitey

If you are on a huddle and get near land you could break up into a line and kick into land together. James
