It was the 22nd of February and we were all looking forward to the day ahead. I was in my togs and ready to go. But there was one thing that I wasn't so pleased about - there was water falling from the sky. Guess what? It was raining. We ignored the rain, jumped into the cars and set off to Riwaka pool - after all we were going to get wet in the pool so a little rain was not going to be a problem.
We walked through the Riwaka School grounds, into the pool area and sat down. We waited for everyone to arrive and when Rooms 11, 7, 9 and 8 were all seated, our Principal, Mr Chalmers said, "Welcome to Mapua School's swimming sports."
"10 year old girls!" shouted Mr Taylor. Then we knew that it was our turn to go and do a length of backstroke.
The whistle blew and we jumped into the warm water.
"BANG!!!"went the gun, we were off. We were all rushing our way through the pool. The first to hit the end was Maisie, then Lauryn.
Next up was breaststroke. Mr T called out, "11 year old girls," and we stepped up to the mark. BANG!

Over all the day was awesome.
