Swimming Sports at Nayland pool!

The other day NCA did swimming sports. I had to watch because I had a cold and if I went swimming I would miss out on the Weet-Bix triathlon. I saw some amazing swimming! I felt excited seeing people win their races! I saw backstroke. freestyle, flutter board, butterfly and people diving off the diving boards. My cousin Jonny was with me some of the time. I bought an activity pack that had games in it to play while I watched the swimming sports. Later we went back to school everyone was really tired. We wrote in our homework and then went home.
