My Last Swim Meet

It was 7/20/2011. I was at the last swim meet of the year. My team is called the Dolphins and we were battling the Tiger sharks.

After I checked the event board, I found out that I would be swimming freestyle and backstroke. In freestyle I got ready to swim. When the referee said go, I did a quick dive and then followed with sprint. I only breathed once per four strokes so that I kept on swimming as hard as I could go. By the time I touched the wall, my time was 31.86. It was better than my best time and I was very happy!

Then I went to swim backstroke. I went into the pool first and got ready facing backward. When the referee said go, I started swimming the whole way. When I was almost at the end of the pool, I slowed down and was exhausted. I got tired quickly. When I touched the wall, I found out my time was 41.36. It was my best time too.

Finally my dad and sister congratulated me. After a quick shower, we went to home.
