I went to my Interzones swimming. Before I went into the seating area I had a nice warm takeaway hot chocolate. Then I sat down on the cold concrete stairs. My goggles were getting foggy my arms were getting sweaty. I felt nervous when I heard the freestyle year 4 girls and boys I got to my feet and rushed to the line of fit swimmers. I heard the whistle and shot to the start I heard the buzzer buzz and there I was in the water shooting down the path of water. Cold liquid splashing in my face.
Scared that I am going to come last. Splashing water into the other lane grabbing the water and throwing it behind me thinking of all the support I have. Thinking that I am going to come first.
Then I see the finish and smash my hand to the solid damp brown lining. What place did I come? I looked at my mum she put her hand into the air and it came up as the character four. I grabbed the bump and pulled myself up into the moist air, I slipped through the red and white gate as I hugged my mum I heard a voice it was my dad saying ‘’ good work’’. Then I picked my towel and walked to my seat I was proud I was happy with all the support I had and happy with my achievements I had a great time.
