AS I SAT DOWN, I LOOKED AT THE BLUE MURkY REFRESHING WATER. I HEARD SCREAMING AND LAUGHTER, I WAS BURNING AS THE SUN ATTACKED ME. I FELT SO GREAT AND CONFIDENT. I WAS EXCITED BECAUSE TODAY WAS SWIMMING SPORTS!
FIRST IT WAS THE OPEN 4 LENGTH FREESTYLE, I WAS WALKING TO THE BLUE SHADE, IT WAS SO NERVE RACKING LOOKING AT THE BLUE WATER. WHILE I WAS WAITING I HEARD SO MUCH NOISE IT WAS CRAZY! BUT I STILL HEARD JACK ANNOUNCING THAT WE WERE RACING. AS I WALKED UP TO THE BLOCK I HAD BUTTERFLIES IN MY TUMMY.
“BRRRRRRRR! READY! GO!!!” I DIVED IN. I WAS THE 3RD ONE TO CRACK THE ICE BUT EVERYONE CAUGHT UP. I WAS SWIMMING AS HARD AS I CAN. JACKSON WAS COMING 1ST, and I STILL WAS GETTING STOMPED BY EVERYONE BUT I STILL TRIED. IN THE END I CAME 2ND TO LAST BUT I DIDN’T REALLY CARE.
FINALLY I WENT HOME WINNING TWO RACES.
