swimming sports

Wesley intermediate swimming sports 2015!

At Wesley Intermediate school we had a swimming event, it was Tuesday 17 of March. The whole school was there and we had a lot of fun. We done a lot of styles like freestyle , backstroke, 2 length swimming, relay and more that I can not name. We done the swimming sport because we wanted to see who was going to win.

When I felt the water,it was so cold, that I could go into a freezer for  5 minutes and stay there. Then when I heard the clapper thing go it felt like I was coming last but I was coming third. I was about to stand up but I knew I was just about to touch the other end.

When I got out I felt amazed that I came third and that I was complimented from my mum.When I saw that edinburgh was coming second I was really impressed and cold. After that I saw the backstroke I was impressed with a few people. When I saw some people dancing I got in the mood and started singing.

When I saw Power Hive coming second,then third,then they came first and started jumping up and down like I was in the race,then I heard people saying “lets go Room 9 and 8”.Then it was the boys I was like “ohhh dear” Then we won.
