"On your marks, get set... GO!" Mr Robertson's voice filled the room. Swimming Sports had started. The children dived into the freezing cold water. The last row stepped onto the diving board and prepared for the next race.
"Girls non - competitive freestyle, please come and line up!" Mrs Dennison called. I was shivering. Oh no, that's me.
As soon as I stood on the diving board, I regretted everything.
"On your marks," Mr Robertson called once again. I slid into the pool and prepared myself. "Get set... GO!". I set off and immediately felt the coldness sweep through me. I stared down at the blue ground beneath me.
How long is this going to last?
Before I knew it, I was there. Slowly, I climbed out.
"You came 5th" A parent said. Excitement flushed through me.
The Senior Syndicate had swimming sports on Monday. I entered Non - Competitive Freestyle and Flutter board. Flutter board was fun. Hannah and I went slowly "comforting" each other.
