Family Slide – .All persons age 6 +, Competent swimmers only, 1 adult 16+ and 1 junior 2-5yr old can ride together. From the first recorded dip into what's now the driest spot on earth to the recreational swimmers in your local pool, humans have been getting wet for 10,000 years. And for most of modern history, swimming has caused a ripple that touches us all. Howard Means' Splash! has raised the bar for the 'swimoir'! He takes masterful strokes through 10,000 years of the cultural and social history of swimming and makes the strongest case yet written on why everyone should swim. The children loved this story! With the determination and perseverance we see in the story it is a lovely story to inspire the children that they are able to anything they want as long as you believe in yourself. It was great to see how Claire was initially scared but had the support of her sisters as it reminds the children that sometimes things aren't always easy but that there's always someone who will support them.

The how’s behind a multitude of textures, from the delicate softness of rose petals and the flush on the cheek of a sleeping child, to peeling paint, and reflections on polished metal Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Paralympic gold medallist Claire Cashmore has written her first children’s picture book. The story tells the tale of Claire’s childhood and how she actually hated the water when she was little. It is also about how claire, who was born without a left forearm, never let her disability stand in her way and she made sure she could do everything and anything she wanted to by believing in herself. Molė yra talentinga plaukikė. Mergaitė priklauso populiariai merginų grupelei mokykloje, gyvena su seneliais, nes jos mama verslininkė, todėl visiškai neturi laiko pasimatyti su dukra. Molei reikia pasirinkti – brangus draugas, ar populiarumas? Talentas ir plaukimas, ar draugių pripažinimas?In this 15th volume of the highly celebrated Splash series, 100+ of today’s most accomplished watercolor artists share some of their favorite paintings and the “a-ha!” moments behind them. I adored how Claire has such a beautiful relationship with her older sisters who have always believed in her. I also adored how it took plenty of coaxing to get Claire into the water but once she was in she realised how much she loved being in it and she then worked at becoming the best swimmer she could be which led to her becoming an Paralympic Gold Medalist. Means takes us on a deep-dive (groan, sorry) into the history of swimming, written in an authoritative but accessible style, looking not just at swimming and swimmers, but at the social contexts and impacts of swimming over the years. He brings characters from history to life - hello Annette Kellerman, among others - discusses the details and fabrics involved in the varied history of swimsuit design, explores swimming in the context of feminism and racism, and makes sound arguments for why everyone should be given the chance to learn how to swim (it turns out that making swimming accessible does much more than prevent drowning, it can even lower crime), and much more besides. As refreshing as jumping into a pool on a hot summer's day, Splash! sweeps across the whole of humankind's swimming history with an irrepressible enthusiasm that will make you crave your next dip. Molly is 11 and will soon be moving on to secondary where she is desperate to fit in. She has four girlfriends that she hangs out with but one of them, her best friend Chloe can sometimes seem more like an enemy than a friend.

Gegen Schluss wurde es nochmal interessant, als er über das Wettkampfschwimmen berichtete, das immer mehr zu einer Wissenschaft wird und immer weniger reiner Sport ist. Da flossen auch ein paar persönliche Aspekte an, die mir besser gefallen haben als die vielen Anekdoten zu Beginn des Buchs. Themed chapters include cityscapes, animals, interiors, still lifes, portraits, landscapes, seascapes and more I live in Malaysia, a country where the majority of the population are Muslim. Most people don't and can't swim, and despite the tropical climate, not many public pools exist. Swimming lessons are uncommon, though there is a strong local competitive swimming scene. In the parts of Splash about swimsuits I couldn't help but think of how the various 'Burkinis' worn by the women in my local pool are so similar to some of the swimsuits from the past. Of course it's not possible to include everything in a book and Means' main focus is Anglo-Saxon (but not uniquely), but I find it interesting how a recent surge in more conservative swimming attire has opened up the world of swimming to so many women who otherwise would never have dared bathe in public, whether in pools or any other bodies of water, and fits with Means' call to make swimming accessible to everyone. Rapid River – Competent swimmers ONLY, all non-swimmers accompanied by competent Adult swimmer and wearing appropriate floating devices. The story was a little cliched and the plot was a little too straightforward for my liking. I could predict the way the story would end but is it such a bad thing? I don't want the protagonist to suffer and lose her confidence! So seeing her take a stand and finally discover her inner strength while being surrounded by people who love her is not only the expected ending but the right one. I don't care how cheesy it is!Tyre Ride – All persons age 6 +, Competent swimmers only, weight restrictions apply (max 100kg), single ride use only.
