Activity Purpose/ Summary:
Children participated in a supervised swimming session. They were guided by volunteers and the swimming teacher, who provided instructions on basic swimming techniques and water safety rules. The activity was structured to help children gain confidence in the water, with exercises that included floating, basic strokes, and water play.

This swimming activity was an enjoyable and beneficial experience for the children. It supported their physical development, encouraged teamwork, and allowed them to learn important water safety skills in a controlled environment. Future sessions are highly recommended to continue building on these valuable life skills.

The swimming session was a successful experience for the students, allowing them to build physical skills, improve their comfort level in the water, and learn essential safety tips. The activity contributed to their physical well-being, social interaction, and confidence.
