Finally it was friday, but what’s so special about this friday? It was our school picnic at the waikanae pools. First we had to sit on a hill as other classes went to get changed, when everyone was in their we prepared for the Swimming Races. First it was youngest to oldest in the width races and the width Relay, then youngest to oldest in the length races and the length relay.
After the races we were allowed to play in the pools. I think it was quite funny as everyone ran down the hill because I saw atleast 3 people fall and roll down the hill and one of them being me, I was quite embarrassed. once we were in the pool we played around for about three hours, then four of my friends and I swam underneath a floating mat and bent down the sides so we were underneath a tunnel shaped mat. I was in front so I would take us over top of someone so they were in the tunnel too, then we would yell as loud as we could and scare the living daylight out of them.
Then the Hydro slide opened it wasn’t very fun, but I still went on it about seven times. We were trying to find out how to position ourselves so we would slide down really fast, we found out that if you lay on your back and push out your shoulder blades so you’re on your feet and your shoulder blades. We were going so fast that we would go flying out of the finish and sometimes crash into the steps to get out.
We hopped back in the pool but soon after we had to get out and go home, as everyone was getting on the bus to go back to school I was getting In my mum’s car to go straight home.I had a great time, and I bet everyone else did too. I just can’t wait till next year.

I’m glad you enjoyed the day so much… I wish I had been back in town that day too. I’ll look forward to next year!

This sounds like a lot of fun, I am jealous! I wish I could take a day off of school and just go swimming! That day I would be up and ready for school so quickly! It sounds like you had a lot of fun!

This is nice reading this post. It reminds me to the years when I was at the Elementary. Swimming is healthy and always very fun especially when we can have fun with some of friends.
