The Family Swimming Race
The Family Swimming Race
One day, when my dad and I were swimming under the hot sun, we decided to have a swimming race. It’s a good thing all the family were there playing with each other.
We didn’t want to disturb anybody, so dad and I made posters. We put the finished posters in different places where they were playing. We put a sign-up sheet next to the pool. They read the posters, signed the paper, and all participated except my grandmother who is too old so she was the ref.
I had a smile of excitement on my face as we began the race. I was watching all the older people in front of me and was scared that they would win the prize. When my grandma started counting down for us to start I ignored them and focused on the water. But I got even more nervous! We were all squashed together in the pool so, because I’m small, I was able to swim between the gaps. I got near to the front, but my brother was ahead of me by about 2 feet. Suddenly, I saw my little cousin drowning. I grabbed him, put him on the side, and continued the race.
My brother won and I came second. I was very happy for my brother.
