Beach Day

Beach Day

Yesterday, my class SWL, took the college van went to the beach to visit Otaki Surf Lifesaving Club. We were greeted by Cassie, Damien, Lisa and Kristy. We took a tour around the lower half of the building since the top half was being used.

We left our bags in the bathrooms and went into some of the gear shed's that contained Knee boards, Ski's and a lot more. One of the sheds contained an IRB which stands for Inflatable Rescue Boat.


After we learned about first aid. We were put into 4 different groups and we all participated in a amazing race.

We would be given a clue to find a location, and would be given a challenge to complete and would be given clue to the next one until we got to the end. My group came second and we had a lot of fun completing the challenges.

In the same groups, we went down to the beach and tried to pick up as much rubbish as we could. We went to the right of the beach, and ended filling our plastic bag one quarter full. We did have to go back since one of my team mates lost their phone and we helped them find it.


It was to cold and windy to swim in the beach so we ended up going to the pools. We played gang tag, ball tag and my personal favourites, piggy back relay and volleyball. 

After everyone had gotten changed, we walked back to school and just stayed in class having free time. Overall, I had a lot of fun doing all the cool activities at the pools and at the Otaki Surf Lifesaving club.
