Joey Swimming Night 2021
The Joeys went to Botany Aquatic Centre recently (13/12/2021) to work on their Aquatics Stage 1 badges. We talked about water safety, Personal Floatation Devices, how to signal that you’re in trouble and the buddy system when in and around water.

We also did some swimming tests, for example:
- Floating for 15 seconds
- Gliding for 5 metres
- Swimming 10 metres (any stroke) without assistance
- Getting an object off the bottom of a pool in chest-deep water
- Signalling for help in the water
The Joeys did very well completing these tests and should be proud of their achievements.
