All about swimming

Introduction:

Do you know how to swim?Learning to swim is important.

There are lots of reasons why swimming is important I‘m going to explain three of them to you.

Paragraph Two:

One of the reasons why swimming is important it’s because New Zealand has one of the highest drowning rates in the world.We have swimming lessons so we can get better at swimming and getting better at surviving in the water.

Paragraph Three:

If you don’t know how to swim you can go to the pools with someone that knows how to swim so they can teach you how to swim.

Conclusion:

New Zealand is a small country that we are surrounded by oceans and Beaches, Lakes,and Local pools.In summer when it is hot most familis loved to go to the pools to swim,but some of them dosent know how to swim.
