Spent fuel pool

The bed mercilessly taunts my exhausted limbs to return but my determined heart persuades me to brave the trial by water once more. As I dive over the ice cold pool, dread and regret fill every moment until my body finally makes contact. For two, sometimes three, hours the situation will only worsen as I repeatedly raise my arms above my head and pull back as hard as possible. Weeks of this pass by, all for the sake of being able to travel through 100 meters of water a few milliseconds faster.…

swimming class. I didn't want to spend my Sunday afternoon in the swimming pool. The two hours in the water was too boring. I could spend the time on something that was more interesting as a thirteen years old girl, rather than swam like a frog every week. “If you really don't want to go again, you can tell the coach today.” My mother said when driving me to the swimming center. When I arrived at the swimming pool, everything was the same like last week— the same coach’s sound, the…

This March, my family and I took a trip to Mexico for vacation. We did many fun things down there such as; parasailing, went on a boat for a day trip, sail boating, went swimming in the ocean, buggy board, sand volleyball, swam in the pool, walked the beach at night, got henna tattoos, a dread in our hair and went to the club with my brother and Emerson. The sand on my feet, the crashing of the waves, people swimming in the ocean, the smell of sunscreen and the wonderful taste of my flamingo…

conclusions without much evidence to support their decisions. In Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem We Real Cool, Brooks talks about the thoughts of some young pool players at a pool house called “The Golden…

knew he wasn’t joking and that scared me. The first time I ever noticed him, was the day he walked up to me when I was working at my high school’s pool as a Lifeguard. He had been in swimming that whole evening during my shift and I didn’t really think much of it. At some point, he had hopped out the pool and took a seat around the edge of the pool. Minute’s went by and I never even noticed this guy just staring at me from the other side of the deep dark waters. Next thing I knew, there is a…

Like a powerful motorized speed-boat, I swam across the lake to go retrieve my sister after she got thrown off of the inflatable balloon attached to our boat. My arms and legs were burning out of exhaustion, and my mouth could only pick up the taste of the lake’s murky, muddy water. My family and I were headed out to the lake to spend a sunny afternoon together. We rarely have time to see each other since all of us have our own tight, busy schedules, so my dad had the brilliant…

Bryan I said, “Are we going to the wave pool with Jacob?” Yeah Bryan (which is my uncle) said. Yes I screamed on the top of my lungs. After celebrating over only me, Bryan, and Jacob going to the awesome wave pool, we started walking to the ginormous pool. When we were halfway there, me and Jacob started running to the wave pool while my uncle Bryan was walking. When we got there, me and Jacob started running Into the pool and we separated and went our own ways. I started…

Summer time brings a lot of new and fun activities to my plate. Among these are tubing and water skiing. I enjoy both of these activities a lot, but in different ways. Water skiing is a tough and rewarding sport while tubing is an easy and relaxed activity. When I start tubing, I can see the red and yellow checkered rope attached to my tube. It runs through the rough and choppy water up to the boat. I am lying down and staring at the faded red and yellow covering. The white tube shows through…

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…
