Last Thursday I had a swim meet. It was at the Athletic Club. I had to swim against a girl in high school and a girl in the middle school. So there were 3 people in each of the races I swam. The races took place by age and skill; we were the last race in the meet. It took a while until my race races began, so many of us just sat in the hot tub until it was our turn. The strokes we had t swim were the freestyle (crawl stroke), the breaststroke, and the backstroke. We had a choice to swim the butterfly stroke, but since it was my first time I hadn’t learned the butterfly yet. So I didn’t swim that.
When it was my to swim the freestyle, my heart was beating faster than it should have. I won first place, and I beat my record by about 8-10 sec. I got a heat winners ribbon, and it’s sitting on my dresser right now. In the breaststroke, which is not my strongest stroke, I got third place. Which means I basically lost (last place). There was also a snack table were, which was awesome. Finally, the last race of the day. The backstroke. The backstroke is probably my second best stroke, and as you can guess I won second place. Which isn’t that bad when your swimming against a high school girl.
So al in all I did great. I guess you can say I am the champion of the freestyle! I can’t wait until the next swim team session, which starts tomorrow. I want to better my skills even more in swimming. Hopefully the high school will have a pool by then!
