Just Add Water

Hi All!

I've created this swimming blog as my IBMYP Personal Project.  I will tell you the little tips and secrets of freestyle swimming that not many people know!  Also, some videos for some guidance.

The IBMYP Personal Project requires one of the Areas of Interation (AOI) in addition to Approaches to Learning (ATL).  The AOI form the basis of the MYP and should be at the core of the teaching of all subject groups.  They contribute to an education resulting in global awareness, international understanding and an appreciation of cultural diversity.  There are five AOI: ATL, Community and Service, Human Ingenuity, Environments, and Health and Social Education. ATL is the area in which you take responsibility for your own learning and "how to learn best."

My Personal Project focuses intently on one AOI: Health and Social Education; the area where you investigate personal, global, and societal issues and healthy decision-making.  This blog will inform others in drowning situations or if you just want to improve your technique.

What does 'Just Add Water' mean? The expression is pretty much self explanatory.  Say mythically, If water (h2o) is added to mermaids on land, they would instantly turn into mermaids.  Mermaids cannot be mermaids without water.  Now in swimming terms, 'Just Add Water' is just as similar, except the swimmers are like the mermaids.  Swimmers cannot be swimmers without water.  'Just Add Water!'


Wishing you the best,
Amanda Le

  2. I like to read more of your view!
    I was also a swimmer in my twenties, as a form of exercise , not as a competitor swimmer like yourself. I'd like to know your feeling of a mermaid being in the water! I had mine! 🐳🐳🐳
