In Te Maunga we went to a swim safety lesson. The 3 things that I learnt about being safe is that you can float on your back and it can keep you safe. If you can float on your back, you can go back to shore but if you panic you can drown. Then I learnt to go with the rip because if you try to fight it you can sink to the bottom of the sea. I also learnt that we have to remember to stay calm and think before you jump in to save anyone because you can take your own life with them. You can check the weather.
