Pool

Kazuma. A little bit after arriving to the house, Brad took off to Soccer practice, while the rest of the boys were in the house. Once I was finished talking to Mrs. Rozier and Mrs. Topal, the boys asked me if they could go in the pool. Most of the boys, jumped in the pool except for 4 of them. The whole time they were under my supervision. At 6:00pm, most of the boys went to dinner except for Brad and Howard who order food out. All the boys arrive right in time for prep…

like to call it how to stop the spinning blades of death from chomping on you for lunch with a side of grass. Every was talking at once. Just like every Tuesday, nobody lets each other talk. Then all the sudden a giant poster comes ,about inground pools for sale, knocking all of us down. The wind then picks up again and slams it against the window.Mr. Smith heads for the door just as we hear kevin…

In a daze at 5:07am, I considered hitting the snooze button, but I surrendered to the morning and got out of bed. It was time for swim practice. After driving in the pitch black for 22 minutes to school and getting ready for practice, I entered the pool area where the fragrance of chlorine filled my lungs, raised me out of my dreary state, and filled me with an unexplainable blend of comfort and anticipation. This ritual is a key part of my high school life. Swimming has been my sport of choice…

The girl sitting on the side of the pool with blue lips, shivering like it is twenty degrees outside, that was me. As a child, most kids go to a swimming class to learn how to swim and enjoy their lessons, to ultimately growing up spending days on the lake with their friends soaking up the sun kissed water. For me, this experience was a little different.I loathed going to swim class. I would beg and cry, asking my mom to take me out of the class but the feeling of being a young child who just…

The Swimmer- Compared and Contrasted Many books over the years have been turned into a movie. Many of the movies are that same as the book and many are completely different. But most movies have a little bit of both. Take for instance, ‘The Swimmer’. A little 10 page short story turned into a hour and a half long movie. So of course they had to add and take away information. But most of the time it is for us, the watchers, to understand the movie, better. When analyzing both the story and movie…

got my certification I volunteered my time to lifeguarding local meets in case somebody ended up in the same horror that I was in. I also decided to spend my summers lifeguarding and teaching lessons. I worked 40 hours a week at the community center pool in addition to my swim practices, social activities, and other commitments. I requested my boss allow me to teach little kids lessons in order to allow them to not have to be afraid of drowning. I pride myself in being able to teach these kids…

they have a qualifying time for a certain event. I had qualified in 200 butterfly, which is eight laps of butterfly in a pool that is twenty-five yards long. I was twelve, and a cold March breeze swept over me as I entered the main building that led to the building with the pool inside it. As I entered the pool area, smelling the chlorine, I looked around to see the two pools with diving blocks at the end of each of them. I saw the…

herself up, as her body had reached its point of sufferance, and it collapsed upon itself like a house of cards. She tumbled to the ground, chest first, sending excruciating shockwaves of pain, leaving her immobile. Oh, how she wished she stayed at the pool of water, drinking it and resting by it, before embarking blindly through dark, unfamiliar caves. The last thing she heard was an evil laugh, and the world faded to…
