Sea Swimming

‘Time to hop in the car Sarah’ Ok Mum i said

It was a beautiful sunny day Mum,Tom and I wheir on the way to watch me do my sea swimming in Nelon port it was about the middle of November 2013  i asked mum are there any sharks in the water our any dangerous stuff that can kill you she said ‘ NO there is nothing in the water that can hurt you because of the tide ‘When we got their I saw the water it was nice and calm. I went up and got my number if you're a member your number  stays the same my number is 173 and i was doing the long swim there's an option between the long or the short swim this was going to be my second long swim last year i always did the short the short swim was only 600 metres and the long swimmers i kilometre After that i quickly got changed into my wetsuit it was  a long sleeved one its brand new once i got changed i started walking down to the when i felt the water it was warm i did a warmup out to a boy when i got out their i heard a big speaker go of [ ALL SWIMMER OUT OF THE WATER ] I sprinted out of the water because i didn't know what was happening . I asked mum when hopped out she said ‘ the biggest boat that will come in to the port is going back out because the tide is right. we had to wait half an hour for it to go out. Finally when it had gone they told us the rules No drafting, no swimming over top of each other and if you hear a loud siren go off please exit the water at the nearest exit they haven't done that in 20 years it means a shark or something  bad is in the water that made my tummy feel like it had turned inside out because i hate sharks and fish. After all of that had finished we went back to the water and the timer said ‘take your marks go’ i was of like a fish even though i hate fishes after i while when i was swimming i swam into a dark and warm bit of water maybe this is where the sharks hang out that made me go quicker  suddenly a  the safety boat came near me i was wondering why i just kept on swimming though i was nearly at the end there was a big crowd i was wondering why am i breaking the record on the fasted 10 year old girl to do 1 km or is this so i went up to my friend and she told me why there was a big crowd my friend does the small swim SHe said that there were killer  whales in the water  i went to get quickly changed then ran to mum and said did you know i  was swimming with killer whales. She said yes thats why there is  a big crowd  everyone came to see the orcas/ killer whales. ‘why didnt you tell me when i hopped out’ i replied ‘ Because i told you that there was nothing scary in the water’ We stayed a little bit after so we could watch the orcas swim around .

When we got home i ran over to dad and told him the whole story he was very proud of me. the next day i was skimming through the paper and then i saw a Article on the paper about the killer whales and the port Nelson sea swim I i saw myself on the paper and the Killer whales were about 10 meters away and there were 8 of them and a few little ones when i got to school that day i showed my class the picture and  told them about my amazing adventure about swimming with some weird friends the orca family my teacher said she was there at a restaurant when the orcas were swimming around the port!!!
