7th grade Synchronized Swimming!

Well, they did it! The girls have completed (one group will go after Spring Break) their Synchro routines...they enjoyed the collaboration and group work very much. The routines were excellent and demonstrated the skills they learned. Video to come soon....

6th grade Water Polo!

We ended the unit (although we have ONE more fun day after Spring Break) with a Water Polo game! It was Orange against Blue with Aquajoggers and it was a blast! The girls enjoyed this brief, one day, fun activity. More Water Polo to come in 8th grade!

6th grade Swim Meet!

We have completed our swim unit with a simulated Swim Meet! We had the 25 free, 25 back, 25 breast, 50 free, and 50 breast.. each girl swam in two events. We learned how to read heat sheets, how to read the order of events, how to wear a cap and goggles and how to time each other. It was a very fun and successful day! Great job girls!
