SWIMMING DEPARTMENT CHANGES MIDTERM TEST TO TRIATHLON by Len Liu-KCISEC student
The swimming department changed the swimming class midterm test from swimming to triathlon to improve students' physical fitness and develop their interest. According to the swimming department's announcement, all the students in grade7-9 and half of grade10 had to attend the test. Students should finish 2km running, 3km cycling, and 400m swimming during their swimming classes. The test went from 11/2 to 11/6. "Our Coordinator Sugar Yuan designed the whole a c t i v i t y, " s a i d t h e t e a c h e r Tina Ren from the swimming department. Most of the students can finish the test on time, and a few faster students can complete the whole round in 20 minutes. Some of the students were the first time to try a road bike, and most of them never tried to combine the three sports. "Although it was a hard time, I think it is interesting. I build up interest on it," a grade 9 student said.
The whole midterm test helped students to improve their physical fitness. In daily life, they didn't have a chance to practice that. However, this was an excellent chance for them. The midterm test can also help them to get their body ready for other school activities.
To n y H u f r o m t h e triathlon school team said, "The activity can better help students with their endurance. Moreover, the adding of a bicycle can help students to get prepare for their cycling around Taiwan."
