Swimming pool

swims every open and private pool he goes over on his eighth mile travel home. The story is most likely set in Westchester County, a rural in New York City, since the creator once lived there. Westchester is found north of New York City and is one of the wealthiest districts in America.

all of a sudden, CRASH! I had fallen into a ring of rocks around the pool. The next thing I know, my older sister is panicking and rushing me inside the house. I was six years old and in the first grade at Eisenhower Elementary. It was March and the weekend had finally come. My sister and I could not wait to go swimming in our backyard. So, on an early Saturday morning, my older sister, Titania, had allowed us to swimming. The weather was perfect and I was so excited. We had not been…

and swimmers are blocked out, as I focus all my attention on the water. Once my teammate touches the wall, I jump off the block and the nerves that I felt before, goes away as my body pierces through the ice cold water of the St. Francis College swimming pool. Finishing my two laps and being able to out touch my opponent brought me a rush of excitement and pride. In that moment, I felt relaxed and relieved because I…

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…

“Mom, can I quit?” I said impatiently, throwing my swimming suit and towel into my bag. “Why? It is a good chance for you to get some exercise.” This is the twenty-fourth time that I asked to quit my 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…

Little Miracle It was a warm summer morning, a perfect day to go swimming and play outside. As I dragged myself down stairs, I heard our car running and my mom shouting “time to go!” I quickly hopped into our burning hot minivan. We peacefully drove to our friend’s house to go swimming. I was so excited to go swimming with my friends, and play in the water. But little did I know what would happen later that day. When we arrived, our friends…

the genius idea of a compromise: “What if we go to the pool first, then the beach?” They disagreed and said that we should do the complete opposite of my plan. Realizing that I was completely and utterly defeated, I said, “I’ll wait for you both at the pool.” “Why don’t you just go with us?” asked Lucero, trying to peer-pressure me into conforming to her ideas. “Because I want to go to the pool.” My mom said she would let me wait in the pool as long as I was at the shallow end. And she would…

Florida is my favorite place to go because there is so much to do.,like going to the beach, swimming, or even fishing. There are buildings upside down and weird shaped, there are lots of amazing places to eat that are not in Alabama. My favorite activity in Florida is to go go cart racing, going to the beach, and swimming. There are lots of hotels in Florida. Florida has more buildings than Alabama and taller buildings than Alabama. The reason I like Florida is because it is always warm…

there are more sports for them to play while they are in the swimming pool? We could do surfing in the pool, basketball, football. The schools that have swimming as a sport should make it to where they can be able to play sports while swimming because they can get more people to join, get fit, and that the kids may get too competitive. Altho it would probably be hard to do football in the pool, we could get way more kids to start swimming. When the kids are playing football, basketball,…
