I loved swimming the 400 I.M. at the swim meet this weekend. It was fun. First I had to to do 4 lenghts of Butterfly. I was swimming against 12 year olds, so I went really fast! The first length I was in first place. The second length I was in second place. I was swimming fast and I did not feel tired yet.
After Butterfly I did backstroke where one of the other competitors passed me. "Go, go, go!" The coaches said. I pick up the pace.
I did breaststroke and did my underwater pull out. I felt like I was in last place so I had to swim faster. Last but not least was 4 lenghts of freestyle. I saw the person who was in first place on the second lenght of freestyle so I knew I had to bring it home with everything I had left. On the last lenght I went really fast and kicked hard. One of the coaches said, "He has still got power in him!"
When I finished the race I thought I was in third place but my Dad and I checked the results I placed second! That's a sliver medal. I hope to swim this race again!
