Our Year 9 Marine Studies students took to the water at Wentworthville Swimming Pool for their swim test this week!
In their double period, students showcased essential water skills, including:
- Swimming 200m
- Treading water for 3 minutes
- Swimming 25m while wearing regular clothing
- Removing items of clothing while treading water
- Swimming 10m underwater
- Simulating an escape from a capsized boat (students used an inverted esky)
These skills are essential for fostering confidence and safety in the marine environment, and they will help the girls as we start snorkelling in the pool and eventually progress to the ocean. Well done, Year 9!
