Snorkelling


MY SWIMMING RECOUNT

Snap! I felt a sharp pain, my vision was blurred for a second, I could see a  dark blue blur. Suddenly I felt like I was under the sea.  A quiet sound rang in my ears as I threw my head out of the water. The quiet noise immediately turned to shouting.

I was told “Today we will be snorkeling I need you all to duck down and guess your partners number.” I burst under the water struggling to see my partners number. I couldn't breathe I leapt out of the water gasping for breath. I was forced to do this four times, on the third time it became fun.

We were all handed snorkles to use.  I tested mine.  I knelt down and magically it worked! Breathing slowly but pacing myself I worked my way towards Mr Burton. “Free time!” Mr Burton exclaimed with glee. I lay on my belly floating along peacefully.

A shocking noise suddenly rang in my ears “Time to get out.” said Mr Burton. I sighed as we took off our gear. As I walked back to class I thought about how good my day was. I had enjoyed my time in the pool.
