Swimming lessons

Today my syndicate went to the swimming pool in Kilbirnie. We have been going to the pool every Thursday for term 3. Today was the last swimming lesson so we did races! My team was called the Seals,we did well. 

I also did jumping through a hula hoop and and then going into the water and that was very fun.My teacher was very kind. There was an inflatable dinosaur! The dinosaur was in the cold pool. I also went in the splash pool and played a game that was singing and dancing. I am in the Jelly fish group. I love swimming!

Sofia's swimming achievements

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.

Swimming Sports

Today we went to swimming sports. Swimming sports all of the school racing against each other, these are the races:

Width freestyle

Width backstroke

25 metre freestyle 

25 metre backstroke

25 metre breaststroke

25 metre butterfly

50 metre freestyle

50 metre backstroke

Then there was relays. There was the year 5 and 6 relays girls and boys and the year 7 and 8 girls and boys. Some of the kids in our class got to be in these races too.

When some people in your team were racing you had to shout “GO GO!”

After all that racing we were all tired and luckily there was only 2 hours left of school.
