Today was my swim meet at Beach Club. It was against Beach Club and Wentworth. I was swimming an I.M., 25 breaststroke, 25 fly and a 100 freestyle relay. My I.M. came very soon. Tammy told us it was a 33 yard pool which surprised me. I was in heat 2, I think, and I was first place in my heat. Jill was in the heat before me. My time was 213. While swimming I looked ahead but I didn’t see anyone. But I tried to beat my time. It is hard to figure what it really was, because it was 33 yards. But I earned points for my team because I was first place. I hoped that I would do as good in my other events, because the other team was pretty fast, and Jill was swimming in my heat for most of the events.
My next event was 25 (actually 33 yard) breaststroke. I was excited because breaststroke was my favorite stroke, but I was nervous because Jill was swimming against me. I tried hard, but she beat me and I was third place. My time was 30.90. It wasn’t that bad, but I planned to do better on my fly.
This time, I was swimming against Brie, Jill, Megan and someone from Beach Club. I was already 0.34 seconds faster than Megan, but Jill and Brie were WAY faster than me. I kicked as hard as I could, but Jill just got farther and farther. She was first, Brie was second and I was third. It looked like I beat Megan by more than a second. I was very proud, because Megan used to swim better fly than me! I could barely walk after it though. Unluckily, my relay was right after it.
Mia , Mackenzie Drew and Jenna Bailey were in my relay. I was glad I was second so that I didn’t have to dive. The block was slippery and it looked like it was slanting straight down. At least it was better than NO blocks at Shirley. I also have big feet which are good for pushing off the wall with. We were already ahead, and I stretched us even more ahead. But then someone (I’m not going to say the name) slowed us down a bit. We were still first. All the relays I’ve been in this year are first! I didn’t ask for the time though. I was very happy, but very tired. I really wanted our team to win!
