I dived down deep to retrieve the ring from the bottom of the pool... got it! I raced the bubbles to the surface, my goggles fogged up as I flicked the water from my face. My bright green rash-top reflected in the water as I swam dolphin-like to the edge of the pool. I grabbed the cold wet handrail, climbed up the ladder step by step to safety and the next activity. My classmates followed me like a pod of green frogs, Glen was waiting patiently for us with rescue tube in hand and a mountain of flippers.
"Are you ready guys?"asked Glen.
"Yes" we all replied excitedly.
We buddied up and half of us slipped on flippers and the other half strapped on the red tubes, the tube dudes were the drowning victims and those of us with flippers were the rescuers.
It was HEAPS of fun - I didn't drown once!!!
Over the following three days we experienced lots more challenging water safety activities, it was a wonderful experience and most of my classmates would love to do it again. Thankyou A.W.E and N.P.D.C for including us.
