Pudong Campus Grade 2: Little Fish in the Pool!

From the beginning of March, the weather has gradually warmed up. There are now more and more people going out to have more exercise. The G2 students of SHSID’s Pudong campus are in this group as well!

In order to advocate sportsmanship and encourage the kids to have more interest in sports, every month we have a variety of sports events on campus. So, to this end, we held a Swim Meet at the beginning of March.

Despite having worn warm coats for a whole winter, once in the swimming pool, the kids are not afraid of the cold at all! They all looked like little professional swimmers; athletic and energetic! These second graders are just 7 or 8 years old, but don’t underestimate their abilities. Once they put on their swimsuits, they quickly jumped into the pool. They were like little flying fish in the swimming pool, paddling their arms and rushing to their destination as fast as possible! The kids powered through the water as they swam freestyle, and demonstrated some impressive butterfly and backstroke skills. In my head I can picture one boy waiting for his turn, quietly watching his opponents in the pool. He’s thinks to himself "when it’s my turn, I’ll do better than them!"
