Swim team Tryout

On the day of my swim tryouts to get in the Stingrays I went to YMCA. I really wanted to get in the swim team so I was very excited. I was still a little scared because it was my first tryout. I was the last one. I quickly put on my cap and goggles and got in line.
There was a line of people who were trying out. In front of me was a little boy. The coach told us to do freestyle first. As I waited I looked at the people swimming. When it was my turn I jumped in and started swimming the best that I could. I swam fast but not as fast as I could. I stopped at the end of the wall and turned back.
Next we swam backstroke 1 length. I was a bit scared because I wasn’t very good and I was afraid of bumping my head on the wall. When I got to the flags I slowed down. Then I got out.
My favorite stroke was next. It was breaststroke. Nobody swam good breaststroke, I thought when I saw them swim. I swam as nicely as I could. After that was butterfly.
At the end the coach gave us a form to sign. I knew I was going to make it and I was
excited for the tryouts.
