7th Grade - Synchronized Swimming!

What a great unit! This is a unit that has been taught at Punahou School for many years. The girls have learned:
-The shark
-The collapsing clam
-The ballet leg
-Sculling and egg beater/treading water
-Fancy Arms and splashes
-The porpoise
-Entries
and more...
We also completed the 12 min endurance swim. The girls swam continuously for 12 minutes working on endurance and getting a different kind of workout - similar to running the mile. The did a fantastic job! Well done girls!

Next, we will be breaking into groups and beginning our routine development! More to come soon...
