Water Confidence

Water Confidence, an activity to build up our confidence in water before we go for our canoeing and rafting. This activity was held at the river in front of our camp's main entrance. After having the warming up session, we were only allowed to undergo the training in the river. Basically, it is not a very tough activity, unless you have fobia towards water! Anyway, it shouldn't be a problem too if you have fobia towards water because body aids are provided. Each and everyone of us need to wear the body aid before moving into the river. The depth of the river that we always thought is shallow is not as shallow as we thought. Aha! Refraction of light! It is actually quite deep...not really la...but your feet cannot reach the bottom of the river.

For this activity, we need to form a group of 10 person. When we were in the river, we were instructed by the trainer in charge to form several formations. All these helped to build up our confidence in water, especially for those who are afraid of water. At the same time, we need to trust our friends cause each of us are dependant to each other. We cannot do this activity all by ourselves. Friends are there to help and give support to us.

It was a fun activity. Although I did shout when I first got myself into the water (it is actually quite embarrassing!), but I do have a lot of fun there. I guess everyone felt the same.
