Swim Safe Day!

Year 5 took part in a Swim Safe activity at Windermere, organised by the RNLI and ASA. They had a talk on swimming safely in open water, discussing the flag system. The instructors got them to practise calls for help and safety positions. Getting into the wetsuits was entertaining! Once in the water they practised swimming, joining together to help each other and the distress calls. They finished with a straddle jump in to the lake from the jetty. It was an amazing- if a little chilly- experience.
