Swimming

On Tuesday I went to the swimming pools. When we got to the swimming pools I got changed straight away because I was hot. I got into the pool when I was told. When I got in the pool I was cold. Practiced straight streamlines,Urban showed us then we got the hang of it. Then we tried backstroke, it was a bit hard I  bumped into people. After, we did diving from one side to the other. Holly asked if we could do a bomb, our teacher said maybe the end. Anyway, the teacher threw a toy into the pool and she said we had to get it Urban grabbed the toy first. Then we got to bomb then we got changed and went back to school.
