WATER SAFETY DAY





We were pretending we were out on the farm and we had fallen into the dam or ditch or stream with our clothes on, because when you fall in you are wearing your clothes and gumboots.

First we got our gumboots and jacket on

then four people got up on the side ready to fall in. Then we jumped into the pool and we had to kick off our gumboots because you cannot swim with gumboots, they are so heavy , you would just sink to the bottom. Then we had to get our jacket off because when you jump in your jacket weighs about a ton and you can't swim so you have to get out of it.

It was so so fun, we did it again and again and now I know what to do if I fell into a dam or pond or river or the sea.
