2017 saw the reintroduction of the Timaru Boys’ High School swim school, which took place at lunch times under the instruction of Riley Taylor and Reed Stevenson, with the help of Matthew Moore.
There was an average of 15 boys there every week, ranging from Year 9 to Year 12. These boys were first taught how to efficiently swim freestyle, which is the most commonly used stroke in swimming.
Most of these boys were wanting to improve their freestyle technique due to a PE assessment that required swimming skills. To achieve better grades, these students needed to swim to their best ability in the most effective and efficient manner.
The students were then taught how to properly dive into a pool. This was demonstrated by Matthew, as it can be a difficult concept to understand.
Swim school will resume at the end of the year, and we look forward to students making further progress with their swimming.
