I've just got home from my 4th rookie lifeguard lesson. Basically, it's where I learn loads of personal survival and lifesaver stuff in the pool and then when I've finished the course, I become a qualified lifeguard. Useful when I go to college, because it means I've got a job while I'm studying. And apart from anything else, it's fun and it takes me one step closer to the dream of being a killer whale trainer. Anyway, we started with the usual 10-length warm up, today we did freestyle (front crawl). When that was done, we got into our pyjamas and then practiced the tow bag (that little red bag thing with yellow rope in it) in pairs. I paired up with Yeva (not sure if I spelled that right :S), who is now a new friend of mine. I threw it out and OMG, it reached her so I pulled her back in. We did the tow bag for a bit more, then we had to throw floats at our 'casualty' so they could swim back. I was worse than terrible at this. My float ended up all over the pool. :/ Whoops! We finished it off with some swimming stamina, then a butterfly race. I lost. :( But it was in our pyjamas.
Also, I found another London 2012 50p coin, this time with the badminton symbol on it. I've got three now: Badminton, fencing and the aquatics one that I bought, as well as a £5 coin.
