Swimming

It was a hot summer's day - NOT!
It was wet, damp and drizzly.  We loaded our gear into the cars and headed off to the Riwaka School pool for the Mapua School swimming sports. We all had mixed emotions about the event, On one hand we were excited and on the other hand we were nervous and cold waiting for our races to start.

The open was first, from years 5-8. Every now and then you would feel some cold water and every time you get butterflies in your stomach. The sound of kids cheering on their friends and siblings echoed through the air.

When it came to our races we were thinking, OMG can we do this?  And guess what.  We did it!
Tegan and I are in Red House so between us both we would have got a couple of points for Red House.

We both did the strokes breast stroke and freestyle.
