Something I learnt from the leadership camp which was held last week is that we should know how to swim!! During the white water rafting event, I was terrified because I couldn't swim and I didn’t know how to communicate with the others while in the water. Now I know that learning how to swim is one of the most important skills we should learn for safety, as well as for fun and exercise.
Like the say we never know until we experience it; its really difficult trying to communicate with your teammates when your afraid of what’s going to take place next. I noticed that learning how to swim it helps develop one’s confidence;for an instance two of my fellow teammates who knew how to swim was very laid-back and chilled unlike me and another fellow teammate who was worried about what's gonna happen next. The ones who knew how to swim were very confident.
To those who don’t know how to swim and haven’t been to the leadership camp yet! I strongly suggest u to learn basic swimming ;) Trust me!! Its not a very pleasant experience of nearly drowning few times even though u have a life jacket on your are not guarantee that you’ll be save. Learning to swim is a definitely important and it helps u communicate better in the water but remember that it takes time and practice.
