The Swimming Competition by Raymond Lee Year 6

Ding! Ding! Ben’s alarm clock woke him right up. While getting dressed he remembered that it was the day of the swimming competition. He was so excited he forgot all about his swimming kit! Mary his Mum shouted “Don’t go swimming, you hurt yourself” while she made his eggs

“OK mum” he shouted back”.

On the way to the school he remembered that he forgot his swimming kit. He ran back home and found his bag and sprinted back to school. finally getting Hanas Primary School he walked up stairs into the hall. “Oh, you’re here” mumbled his swimming coach. “ Hey try this on you’re going to wear it in the swimming competition”. As he went to try it on he was angry for not needing his swimming kit after all. He remembered that his mum told him not to go to the swimming competition but the swimming kit look so cool on him. It was lunch time as he is delicious lunch he was going to decide to go or stay at school. Thinking hard he couldn’t decide. He was like a kind hearted hunter thinking to kill the animal or not. He decided he wanted to change his mind but it was too late. He thought of the good side of going swimming, that if he won he would get shiny medal. He didn’t feel like he was doing the wrong thing anymore. Quickly getting off the bright red bus he felt nervous as his confidence flushed away in just a second. When he got inside the swimming pool it was so hot it was like a volcano erupting right behind him. They walked to the changing rooms and got changed quickly. Slowly he walked on the side of the swimming pool and finally he could start.
