On Saturday, I swam at my first my meet. I swam Breaststroke and won first place. And, in Butterfly, I won second place. In Backstroke, I won third place. In Freestyle I won second place.
When I arrived at 7:30 AM, and saw the crowd of 500 people, I was so glad my dad was with me. My dad knew what to do. He found my team, helped me get signed in and saw me to the practice pool. Then, while I was swimming, he left without telling me that he was going anywhere. When I hopped out of the pool, I looked around for him and when I couldn't find him, I sat down and ate a chocolate bar. Then, I started to cry. I cried and cried until a coach came over and asked me what was wrong. I couldn't even talk, I was crying so hard. Another coach, also came over to see what was happening. When I finally was able to tell them I didn't know where I was supposed to be or what I was supposed to be doing, they understood and found three buddies for me. The buddies are older swimmers who are there to help the younger swimmers find their way around the meet.
I hope I never have to go to a meet ever again!
You're probably the only swimmer to ever come in first place in an event who wishes they never had to compete again. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's awesome that you won medals in so many events! And I'm happy to see rubber ducky made it to the competition too.
