Swimming Recount
During the last two weeks of school Saint Pius X have been going to swimming! We were all putted into lanes, we swum on our stomachs and backs which made me tired but excited! My goal for next time is to make a bigger splash went doing a manu! Have you ever went swimming at Swim magic before? If you want to read more scroll down to the bottom!
Swimming Recount
When it was 1 o’clock in the afternoon
me and Te Wairua Pakiki 4 went onto the bus. When we arrived
we changed and sat down on the chairs waiting for our turn.
When me and my friends jumped into the pool safely we were
taught how to swim but with boards. I could feel the water in
my hair which was nice! We swam to the end and back . I felt tired
when I was moving my legs!
After a while we jumped into two teams, the goal was the first
team to arrive at the end would win. I was facing Sione in the
swimming pool so I knew my competition was about to be
difficult! Sadly I lost but it didn’t matter because we could
manu or jump in normally. Me and Sione jumped at the
same time so it would be a bigger splash! I could feel the water
smack my back which felt rough but nice!
After we jumped it was time to go back to school. Me and my
TWP 4 quickly changed then
jumped back onto the bus. I could feel the concrete under my
feet which was hard! When we arrived back at school then
we continued back with our work! I could feel my laptop in
my hand!
Later on we were having a swimming competition with lane 3.
Sadly we lost but we had a second chance to show that were not useless!
I felt happy because we won the competition and that made me happy!
