(:Swimming sports:)

Bang splash and they’re off! On Friday the 25th of April 2015, Gore country schools had swimming sports. Swimming sports is when all the Gore country schools meet at the Gore pool and have a swimming competition between them. First we all arrived. We were greeted by hundreds of kids sitting in the stands beside the pool. In my head I was scanning for the 12 year olds sign and finally I found it. I was stuck there waiting for  my first race. Then a lady  yelled out “12 year old boys line up over here!” . So we all walked over to where we had the lineup and then were stuck waiting for our race. At least we were one step closer to it. Then we got put in our lane and, you guessed it, we waited again:(. Finally the lady said “Ready, set, GO!” I was working hard but not hard enough as there was 3 people in front of me. I came 4th. Next I had to go back to the stands. Then I got called up again so I hopped in the water and the lady said “Ready, set, GO!” And I was off as fast as I could. This time I came 5th. Next I had the relay. Our relay team was Chloe, Laura, Richard and myself. Laura started the race, then Chloe,  then me. I was getting ready to tag Richard then he finished the relay. Soon we found out how we did. We came 3rd. We were really happy with our placing. It was a really great day and I'm pretty pleased with my results.
