Super School Swimming Sports

Hi its Miriam here. Today I am going to talk to you about our school swimming sports on Tuesday.

On Tuesday Nui Syndicate arrived at Enterprize Swim Club at 10:00. We all sat down on the stands and waited for the first race to begin. The pool was a heated pool so I was not scared that I was going to be cold, but I was scared that I was going to let down my coach. You see, I go to Enterprise twice a week for swimming squads so my coaches expect me to come in a placing.

The first race began with an ear piercing "BEEP!" the Year 4 Girls dolve into the pool and started there 25m freestyle. The crowds cheered as the first girl finished her race.  Then after what seemed like forever the Year 6 Girls got called up for our 50m freestyle. Standing on top of the diving block the cold metal gave me goosebumps I have to admit I was a little bit scared. With butterflies in my tummy the glass shattering "BEEP!" filled up the room. We dove into the pool and even though I was under the water the cheers from in the stands was giving me a headache. I did my tumble turn and then carried on freestyle when I touched the wall at the other end of the pool I was exhausted but happy that I finished the race but I was even more happy when the gave me the yellow stick.

I ran up to Mom and shared the news with her. She was so happy for me when I told her that I had come in second. The races went on for a long, long time after that. I competed in two other races breaststroke and backstroke. I only came a place in breaststroke though. I was so excited that I got through to the finals in two strokes.

In the finals was up against some of the best swimmers in our school. For breaststroke I came last and in freestyle I came forth. I was pretty proud with myself, at the end of the day I did quite well.

Bye, Blog you later.
