Swimming


Swimming

By Sarah Martin

 

It’s time

You’ve been waiting for this for awhile

Standing behind the blocks

Talking with friends

Stretching and getting your muscles ready

Feeling excited

Thinking about everything your coach said

Clearing your mind

And you’re ready

 

Your turn has finally come

“Swimmers up”

“Take your mark”

“BEEEEP”

You fly into the water

With one goal

Swimming as fast as you can

Hearing your coach

 

Coming close to the wall

Seeing all your friends

Cheering and yelling, a great

Feeling comes to you

Pushing you even more

 

Finally your last 50!!

Giving it all you got

Racing to the wall

Slamming your hand on the touch pad

Looking up quickly

Seeing your time

So happy

All your work paid off!!
