I am ready nervous and excited.The thick scent of chlorine trickled from my suit. “SWIMMERS TAKE YOUR MARK.” grip the starting block tightly. hold breath. The buzzer goes off. leap propelling myself into pool. Everything was in slow motion. My legs kicked- arms lunging forward. advance to surface- Gasping for air. crowd wild! slam hands wall. Has anyone else reached wall before me? No one. Everyone is still swimming. smile so much. Oh adrenaline!-That coursed through veins! won!
