THE SWIMMING CHAMP
Diary Entry, Saturday 9 March 2013
My alarm goes off. It is beeping like there is no tomorrow. 5:30AM time for training. I slip my thongs on and squeeze into my swimsuit. I put on my shorts and a shirt over my swimsuit. I grab my goggles, flippers and stop watch and I shove them into my bag. I pinch an apple from the fruit bowl and quickly jump onto my bike. I peddle my bike as fast as I can to the local pool where my trainer will be waiting for me. I quickly put the stand down on my bike out the front off the pool. I scan my access pass and go to find my trainer. She's not here. It must be early, I take my shorts and shirt off and jump into the pool. I do laps of freestyle. I nearly forgot to mention, I'm Sarah and i'm 12 years old, and in only 3 days I am going into a race against some of Australia's fastest swimmers.I have been training everyday after school, and from 5:30AM until 3:00PM on weekends.I see my trainer now. Her name is Casey, Case for short. I jump out of the pool and give her my stopwatch, she hangs it around her neck and presses start. I jump into the pool and swim as fast as I can. I am close to the end of the pool, I push against it turn around and swim even faster than I did before. I finally reach the end and put my hand up. Case presses stop on the stopwatch. I look at the time. Woohoo! New Record, it took me 25 seconds to do that! I am so proud of myself. I am going to win this race for sure! At least I hope so...
Diary Entry, Sunday 10 March 2013.
Today I don't have to go training until 7:00AM, Yay! Sleep in! My bag is ready to go. Today it has: Goggles, Flippers, Towel, A Kick Board and $3 for the tuck shop. It is 6:30, I eat some cereal and skull down some orange juice. I brush my teeth and my hair. And get dressed into my swimming gear. I chuck on a dress and check the time. It is 6:55AM time to leave. I grab my bag, jump onto my bike, push the stand up and i'm off. I reach the pool in only 3 minutes. I push the stand down and jump of my bike. I race in the pool, with only 2 minutes to get there, I scan my access pass drop my bag on an empty seat, take my dress off and dive into the deep end of the pool Case jumps in with me. " Ready to go Sarah? " she says " Ready steady. " I reply. She sits on the step of the pool and starts the stopwatch. I do 5 laps of the pool and check the stopwatch. What!? It only took me 1 minute and 30 seconds! Amazing! I jump out of the pool and get dressed into my dress. I take my swimmers off and shove them into my bag with my access pass and swim gear and put in on an empty seat. I spend my money on a gatorade energy drink. I drink it, jump on my bike, wave to Case and race home. When I reach my house I park my bike out the front on the lawn. And push through the front door. I flop onto the lounge, pick up the remote and put on the channel FOX sports. Hooray, swimming is on. It is a replay of the London Olympics. I watch it and go to get my swimming bag. OHNO! I left it at the pool! It has my access pass and everything else in it! :-(!! I quickly race out of the door and slam it shut. I run as fast as I can , BAREFOOT! Down the street. I race around the corner, panting heavily. I finally reach the local pool. I run inside. I have to scan my access pass to get in! What do I do now? I lose my swim gear and my access pass. What a disaster!! I fall to my knees onto the ground, and cry. I cry and cry and cry. I have never been so sad in my life. Someone taps me on the shoulder. I look up. It's Casey. "Looking for something she says?" as she holds up my swimming bag. "Yes! Thank you so much!!" I say as I hug her. I take my bag and she gives me a lift home. I sigh in relief, my bag has been found. I have nothing to worry about. But I still feel worried.. I don't know what im worried about.. :/
Diary Entry, Monday 11 March 2013
I am so nervous. Tomorrow is the race. I am so nervous. The only kids I have ever raced before are my dad and some kids at school. I have gotten into zone every swimming carnival. I have also been to nationals where I came second and got my picture in the local newspaper. So I can't be that bad. It is 4:45. I am lying in bed thinking about my race. I close my eyes for a couple of minutes. My alarm goes off. It is 6:30. I get up, have a shower, get into my school uniform and get dressed into my school uniform. I Pour a glass of orange juice and grab a bowl of fruit. I munch up my breakfast and skull down my drink. I brush my teeth, grab my schoolbag and ride my bike to school. In class the only thing that I can think about is the swimming race tomorrow. I keep daydreaming in class so my teacher comes up to me and snaps her fingers in front of my face. Whoops. Better get on with my maths!
It is now the end of the day. I race home and grab my swimming bag. This time I will keep an eye on it. I cannot lose it again. Especially when the race is only tommorow. I jump onto my bike and pedal my bike as fast as I can and when I get there I train all day.
Diary Entry, Tuesday 12 March 2013
Today is the race day. It is so scary. Maybe I should not of signed up for this race anyway. No, I will try my best. The only thing I can do is try. I am going to do it. At 5:30 my mum and I go to the swimming pool where the race will be held. I am sort of nervous and exicted at the same time. It is 7:00 time for the race to start. I slip my swimming cap onto my head and put my goggles over my eyes. I am ready for this. I hear the starting gun crack. I dive into the pool and swim as fast as I can. My goal for this race is to get a place. I go as fast as I can. I reach the end of the pool and flip around. I am coming 3rd. I go even faster than before. I can see the end of the pool coming up. ( Although it is quite blurry! ) I reach the end of the pool and put my hand up. I cannot believe my eyes. I have come first. I pinch my self to see if I am dreaming. Ouch that hurt. I have come first place. I am so proud of my self. My mum is cheering so loud and the other kids that were versing me aren't pleased. I recieve a trophy, take my goggles off and stand up. I am so happy. All of that training was worth it. I can't wait to show my trophy for show and tell.
