Earlier this tearm we had made Google drawings about Mary Mackillops life, this is my one.

Swimming Recount

Hook
As I was told the news I was filled with joy. I couldn’t wait to go swimming at the Dean Greenwood Swimming Pool in New Windsor. We spent ten days swimming there in total.

Orientation
As we walked into the building which the pool was in, I felt confident but also a little insecure because I knew I wasn't good at swimming whatsoever. I did it anyway. The people in my row were Alexus, Rocio, Koloa, Theresa, Rosina and Agnes. We walked into the changing room, and I felt more and more nervous. Later after we waited for our turn, I became comfortable until we got into the pool. The feeling of the pool was really nice. During the lesson we did kicking with the boards. As I tried I started getting nervous again. Over time I became more and more confident. On the last day though one of the teachers I was with wasn’t as nice as the other teachers. It might just be me but she was really rude towards us. I didn’t really like the last day of swimming because of what we did that day. The first thing we did was duck diving. We did six kicks, dive under to touch the ground and swim to the other side. When we had finished, I was put in the second group. We had the shortest time in the pool. The second group just swam under the boat and climbed out of the pool to get changed. 

Conclusion
Overall I thought most of the lessons were fun. I enjoyed being there with my friends in the pool.
