The sun shining on my face and my feet were on wet wet grass as half the school headed towards the nice cool pools that were waiting for us to come in.

My heart was racing, as Jack was saying 1 length freestyle 10 year old girls.” I stood up off the stands and headed towards Mr K, when Mrs Sparrow asked me to get the flutter boards and take them to one of the stands. I was shaking like an earthquake, and was as scared as a cat being chased by a dog. Next the 10 year old girls lined up in there diving position then Mr K said “On your marks get set go” All the girls made a big splash like a wave crashing against the rocks. We were racing like there was no tomorrow.

As I was racing in 1 length freestyle, I kept saying to myself 1,2,3 breathe 1,2,3 breathe as I was constantly doing so I had the feeling that I was the last one to cross to be at the other side of the pool but I wasn’t I was actually the fifth one. Being so surprised at what happened I almost got told off for not getting out of the pool. By the way I came 5th in that race. Then I went back to my house stands were my house was.

I felt like a million bucks after that and really proud of the other kids that participated in it and won house points.
