What are the 2012 Pool Olympics? The pool Olympics is a mini competition made by my pool's lifeguards so kids could have some fun at the end of the summer.
A few weeks ago, the lifeguards announced the schedule of the pool Olympics and planed the Olympics on next Sunday. But every Sunday it was planed on it rained heavily. So on the second to last opening day of the pool, which it was raining still but very lightly, the pool Olympics were held as scheduled.
I was late to the pool Olympics because my dad was taking a nap for a long time, when I urged him again and again. I played several games, such as, " Be a Chicken and Get Water", "Seahorse" and "Dive for Pretzels". When I got to the pool every one was participating " Be a Chicken and Get Water" , which was half way through.
There were two teams in that game, the big kid team and the little kid team. I was put on the little kid team because they were losing and there were only two kids on that team. You play the game by flapping your "wings" and making chicken sounds, then you get a plastic cup to scope water out of the pool and pour the water in your team's bucket. The team with most water in their bucket first wins. I was the leader of my team because I was the oldest and I was faster than my teammates. Even though we tried our hardest we still lost the game. Next we played a game called "Seahorse".
You play "Seahorse" by putting a noddle between your legs and use your hands to pretend you are riding a horse. You run into the pool, high five the lifeguard and run back. Whoever's team does that nine times faster wins. I was put on the big kids tea.m when we got new teammates. We sprinted but barely won by one lap. Finally we played "Dive for Pretzels".
In "Dive for Pretzels" you throw plastic pretzels into the water, and your teammates retrieve the pretzels. The fastest team who retrieves all pretzels first wins. You can only retrieve one pretzel at a time so it would be fair. Everybody in my team participated, expect the youngest guy who had help from a lifeguard. We were older, bigger and faster so we got the pretzels very fast and won. As for the other team he couldn't go under water so he won.
The pool Olympic were very fun and exciting. We all got chocolate and candy as a prize.What a fun day!!!
