Next action (what & when):
I have a test next week. Romeo gave told us certain chapters and sections we have to focus on that will be on the test. Assigned us our last In-water session to teach our class.
How am I doing? (75+ words)
During class Romeo assigned us a skit. My groups skit was having a student with a disability, and his parents are over protective and asked a question for everything we did. I played the roll as a swim instructor, my other 3 group members played the student and the parents. The class said that they liked how I explained what I will be using certain materials like a life jacket or kick boards to help the swim efficiently to the parents. They also said that I was very patient and I sounded very motivating towards the student. In our in-water session we learned basic rescuing which were using the hook, hands or feet so that the victim can hold on to it and you can pull them on to the wall.
