Annabel's Recount

On Tuesday there was the Fendalton School swimming sports and it was held at the Fendalton School pool. The first event was the Girls 6-7 year old freestyle. After the 6-7 year old girls had done that it was the 7-8 Girls and then 9-10. Then it was the 7-8 girls championship freestyle.
That was my first event of the day. I was feeling nervous. I put my goggles on then Mr Procter said "On your marks" then banged the banger together and I dived in and started swimming.
But then I realised that my goggles had come off but I still swam the rest of the way and I ended up getting 3rd place. So I got out of the water and I got a stick from Mrs Greg and went and told Mr Sibson what my name was and my house colour then I gave my stick back to Mrs Greg. Next I went back to get my towel and get warm. After a wile it was the 7–8 year old girls championship backstroke. I was not that nervous. Then I got in the water all ready to start then I heard the banger bang. I pushed off the wall and started swimming my fastest backstroke. (It felt like I was zooming through the water).When I saw the flags at the other end I did a few more strokes and reached out for the wall. When I had touched the wall I turned around and got my stick then I realised I had got 1st equal with Stella. So I went to Mr Sibson. Then when I got back to get my towel and put it around me to keep warm. Then I went for the breastroke. Before I knew it it was my turn. I heard the banger, bang and I dived in and started doing breathstroke, and I could see the end of the pool. I touched the end of the pool and I realised that I had got second. I got my stick and went to see Mr Sibson, then I got ready for the house relay. It was an eight person relay. Bayely and I were in the Green team. I was the second to last to swim in the team. When the sixth person touched the wall I dived in and started swimming. When I got to the other end I reached out for the wall and touched the wall so the last swimmer could start to swim. In the end the Green team won. The Red team came second and the Blue team came third. After the relay I went down to the other end of the pool for the presentations. When Mr Norton called my name out I went up to the podium and stood on the first place spot. I got my cup and that was the end of the exciting and fun day. After I had got my cup, I went to get my towel and jersey. After that I went home with mum and had afternoon tea and got ready for gym.
