Pool session with Oliver

Tui Whanau went to the Te Punawai Ora pools yesterday to participate in the Experiencing Marine Reserves Programme. This programme teaches us how to snorkel so we can look at marine life and how it is affected by humans. We had to have a snorkelling lesson in a pool to prepare us for our session at Matai Bay next week. We wore a wetsuit, flippers, snorkel and mask in the pool with us, so we knew what it would feel like. 

 

I learnt how to snorkel and go underwater with a snorkel. I enjoyed swimming because I was with my friends. My goal is to swim a longer distance.

Have you been snorkeling before?
