Wesley intermediate swimming sports 2015!
It was a cloudy, but hot day at the Wesley intermediate swimming sports. All the four houses lined up and cheering as loud as they could for everyone who participated in the events. Mr V was the DJ and Mrs Dunne and Mrs cooper taking all the placings and Mr Murray was telling everyone when to start the race with his wooden clappers. There were 4 individual races and there were 2 relays and 3 fun races for the jelly fish, otters and sharks.
“Could all the year seven boys please go line up for freestyle one length” said Mr V through the microphone.
All the houses were cheering as the boys who were participating in that event went and lined up next to Mr ball. It felt like seconds before the boys all reached the end of the lanes and either came first, second, third or fourth in the event. finally all the boys were finished and the year seven girls were called up to go line up next to Mr ball, then the year eight boys and finally the year eight girls including me! I was part of the first lot of girls swimming.
We all lined up and it felt like minutes and all I could hear was my heart beating and then the clapper. I was so puffed before I reached the end of the lane and I came second! It was like that for most of the races I was in. All I could think was third, second. third, second, those words just repeated in my mind. Then I wondered would I ever get first?
Then it was time for the class relays. Mr V called up people class by class, then finally he called up room nine to swim. There were two people on each side of the pool. I was on one end selena on the other, Faa’sua on Selena's end and then Jade on mine. 3. 2. 1. and we were off, Selena was racing so fast and before I knew it she was right next to me shouting GO! I wasn't a fast swimmer but man I was so desperate to get out of the water. I swam as fast as I could and I finally made it to the other side of the pool. The crowd was going wild. The it was Faa’sua swimming and then Jade! And room nine won the race! I think I proved myself wrong because we did come first!
It was an awesome day and even a little cold but the best swimming sports ever! Everyone was patting us on the back and saying congrats to us and the it was time for the house relays. It was Edinburgh, Windsor, Sandringham and Marlborough. I cheered for my house (a.k.a Edinburgh!) and the best news ever... WE WON! As I said the best day ever!
A fun day, cold day even a loud day but we all did our best in the end. I thought everyone did well and bring on next years swimming sports!
