Recount of Swimming sports. 

Splash! I hear people diving into the water, powering their way through the water.

When that finishes I feel nervous as I step up to the water.

I stare at the crowd, watching them, mostly Rata, and see if they are watching.

They are, and that makes me more nervous. I listen closely to Miss Taylor’s voice.

I hear the whistle and step up. “Take your marks!” And then I hear the clapper go.

I into the water and speed my way to the end, ignoring the freezing cold I feel.

While I kick and windmill with my arms, I see others far ahead of me.

I speed up desperately, and then tumble turn and power my way down the end.

When I finally finish, I come 4th place. So close. When I finish

I hop out of the pool and head back to Rata house.
