Swimming sports

Mr R said "Can all the flutter board boys come to to me!" I jumped into the pool with a nervous sensation in my stomach.  I clutched the yellow flutter board in front of me and looked around to see who else was in the race.  I was happy to see that five out of the six boys in my race were from my house, Weka.

"On your marks!  Get set!  GO!!!!" yelled Mr Smith as he clapped the wooden blocks together.  It sounded like a gunshot echoing around the pool. I pushed off the wall. I felt so temped to look at who was behind me but I thought I would be passed by someone if I did.  

 I kicked with all my might and I was only a metre away from the finish line. I reached the finish line. I had won my race! I had put some points on the score board for my house.  I felt so proud of myself!
