It was time It was time to go to interschool swimming sports, I was really nervous. Once they had called out who was going in each car we were of, In our car we had Rori, Cory and Arthur. We drove through town there was a lot of traffic for Gisborne, soon we could see it the enterprise pools, felt more nervous than ever we parked the car and waited outside. As we walked through the doors the smell of chlorine met our nostrils. We walked over to the stand and sat down after what seemed like hours It was time for my first heat.
As we waited we grew colder and colder I couldn't wait to get inside the worm building but I was wrong when I went inside the noise was deafening I could barely hear koka Lea over all the noise. We sat down in the chairs and waited for our turn. Then It was our turn we stepped onto the starting block "Get Set Go" we dove into the warm and soft water I stroked as hard as I could I was on my first lap then my second before I now it I had finished and I had come second I jumped out of the water so relieved.
Now It was backstroke I was the best in my year and I was confident I went outside remembering my towel and waited then I got called "Archie from Wainui" I gave my towel to koka Lea saying "thanks" and heading of. Then again the long tiring wait Then "Get set Go" we flung our arms back and tried our hardest to reach the end and finally we reached the wall all my friends were cheering I felt proud again I came second.
Breaststroke time At school I had come second in school and came second in the heat. We watched the butterfly and then It was time for the school relay. I was in the relay team from last year we prepared ourselves. The people in the team were Rori, Me Finbar,brook, Lola and charlotte. Brook would be starting us of then Finbar and so on. The boys were on one end and the girls on he other. the whistle blew and the race began we almost laped the other people we were going so fast. When the race ended we found out that central had bet us by one second they were in the other heat. When it was time we bet them by about three meters.
Then it was time for the other finals I was in everything except breaststroke.
