Today, I had my last swim team crying And so for the last practise the coach through a brick in to the 12 foot area of the pool. I was the first to go and also, might I add, I was the best swimmer. So I swam to the bottom of the pool. The blood pulsing in my ears as I swam down down down. I finally touched the bottom. I grabbed hold of the 15-pound brick and halled it up but the weight of it was to much, but i kept pushing or should I say pulling. I first dragged it across the pool bottom. Then I pulled the brick upward. Thank god I was in water. The higher I got the harder it was to pull up. And my air was running out cause I had to blow most of it out when I was going down. Then the water rim touched my nose and quickly passed the rest of my face. I did it!
