PS AT MY SCHOOL SWIMMING IS A GRADE.I WAS NEVER TAUGHT HOW TO SWIM SO MY TEACHER IS TEACHING ME.THE POOL GETS DEEPER THE FARTER YOU GO. ITS 4-10 FEET DEEP.
A few days ago,after I changed I swam acrossed the four feet side and back .So the next day,he took me to the ten feet end.I wasn't that nervous because I know how to swim sorta but, I'm still gettiing it down.The pool is 4-10 feet long and about 20 feet wide.There 5 diving boards going across the 10 feet end of the pool.He told me to swim to the secound one so I did then,I had to swim back.Did that like 3 times and 5 minutes before we had to go in he told me to do it one last time then I can go and change early.When I was coming back my arms was getting tired and I tried to keep going but, I just couldn't.About maybe 2 feet away from the ladder stopped Im VERY lucky my teacher was swimming right beside of me!And by them my whole head was under water and my teacher grabbed my hand and pulled me up and I have swimming 2nd period the rest of the day I was shaking because I could of died.
I still remember my life flashed before my eyes.TRUE STORY!
