Swimming sports

On your marks, get set BANG!

Shooting myself into the water.

On the 24th of April at the Gore pool between the time of 1pm and 3pm I had swimming sports.

The butterflies rushed through me non-stop, my body was shaking.

Children's chatter came from everywhere and the smell of chlorine exploded up my nose.First up I had 1 length freestyle.

BANG! Kicking as hard as I could together with my arms and legs my body cut through the water. After that time just flew by. At quarter  to three my races were all over but one - the team relay. There were four  people in the relay. I was number one, Chloe was number two, Ben was number three and Richard was number four. On your marks get set BANG! I kicked as hard as I could. As my body shot through the water, my heart was pounding and everyone from Otama was screaming at me. Touch! Chloe dives in and I yell, “Go Chloe go!” She hits the wall  and Ben swims through the water. Slam! and Richard was off! We were all yelling and screaming. It was neck and neck for second place. Smack! “Who came second?” everyone asked. Finally the races were over and we went home, still anxious to know what placings I came. But overall I had an extraordinary time and did my school proud.
