On Friday the 16thour whole
classroom walked to the Olympic pools. Also room 3 came with us. Room 2 was
first on the high diving board. Everyone was freezing cold. Our first challenge
was to climb down the ladder and enter the water. We had to all touch the bottom
of the diving board pool. The diving board pool is 3.60m deep.
The water
was freezing cold. But the worst part was that it was a windy day. Our next
challenge was to jump off the high diving board. When I heard that my heart was
beating so fast I couldn’t even hear it. I was looking down at the water and I thought
to myself I can do this. So I jumped off what a piece of cake.
Our next
challenge was to swim 33m freestyle and backstroke without standing up. Mission
accomplished. Mrs Torrie told us to dive into the pool and find 3 items without
coming to the surface. Another mission accomplished. That was the end of the
deep water challenge.
