Think and Write 
Why do we wear special outfits to go diving? Write down your thoughts. 
We wear wetsuits and scuba gear to go diving to help us breathe under water. When 
we swim deep into the ocean we need air to breathe. Divers use equipment such as oxygen 
tanks to help them breathe under water for a long time. The wetsuits help to protect the 
divers from the temperature of the water. As the divers swim deeper into the ocean they 
can see many interesting sea creatures. The scuba divers can learn a lot about what lives 
beneath water’s surface.

Why do sports team members practice with one another? Write your thoughts. 
Team member practice with one another to help each other become bet-ter 
players. When my teammates and I practice together, I challenge myself to 
swim faster. During practice we learn a lot about each of our abilities. We help 
each other become better players by cheering for one another during a game. 
When my teammate wins a competittion, I am happy for her because it means I 
have helped her become a better swimmer.
