Yesterday was our school Swimming Sports. We went to the Lido on the bus. I was thinking "When are we going to get to the Lido?" I was excited about the swimming sports because there were a lot of races. I had entered the free style and flutter board races. When I got to the Lido I thought to myself "I can't wait to get in the pool!"
First up was the freestyle race. When I got in the pool everything went quiet. I heard Mr Smith yell "Three... two... one!" then a big bang as he clapped the wooden blocks together. I was trying to get to the end of the pool as quickly as I could. Arms and legs were flying as we swam like we were possessed! I tried to see where I was coming in the race but the water was splashing in my face and I couldn't tell where anyone else was in the pool.
I could just make out the end of the pool as I got closer to the end of the race. Relief flooded through me as I realised that I had almost made it. I used all the energy I had to power through to the end. I touched the side of the pool and pulled my head up out of the water. I could see Cole at the end of the pool as well. A parent handed me a brown stick. I had come third!
A feeling of pride came over me. I jumped out of the pool and took my stick to Margaret so she could award my house the points I had won. I felt tired as I walked back to the crowd to wait for the flutter board race. I hoped my next race would go as well as the freestyle race had.
