Positive Attitude.
Have you ever been scared to try something for the first time? What sort of things did you say to yourself to help your self through it, did you say I can’t do it, it’s to hard? Or did you think positive and say positive things to your self? watch this grade 4 girl try her first attempt a a ski jump.
ES – Learn to Swim Camp
folks you may have noticed a new Page on the Blog advertising a Learn to Swim Camp, that is scheduled for the first week of the holidays. This camp is will not really suit a majority of our squad 2 and 3 Sailfish Swimmers, it is more focused on beginner swimmers, the upper levels may suit our level 1 swimmers. It is open to Kindergarten to Grade 4 swimmers who have not had any swimming instruction right through to swimmers currently participating in the After School Activities Aquatics beginner and advanced program. The aim is to bring a significant number of swimmers up to the standard of being technically good enough to join the Sailfish Swim Club in the new school year.
So If you have a younger sibling or a friend who is in need of a crash course in learning to swim send them the link to the Camp.
