on Central High’s swim team. Living in California, Susie was used to spending most of her time in the water. Both of her parents loved to be outdoors and enjoyed an active lifestyle that they passed that onto their daughter.

The book “Animal Distress Calls” was written by Eliot Schrefer and is about a girl that gets lost at the zoo. There is a point of freight for the main character in both stories. There are many similarities and differences such as setting and character traits. “People call me Crazy” and “Animal Distress Calls” have a…

felt as if were in slow-motion. Everything had gone fine until my body hit the water and my goggles rolled off my face and onto my forehead. I remembered what the coach told me two nights before, If your goggles ever fall off in a race, don’t stop swimming,That’ll end the momentum of your dive. The familiar salty flavor and rush of cold water arose as I kicked with all my might. Never had I raced…

minute, “Why did she have to yell so loud at me for such a bad reason”. After I the waves stopped after about 3 minutes, I started getting bored of swimming because one of the only reasons I want to swim is because of the giant waves. So I got out of the flat pool and ran to my uncle Bryan and asked him, “Can we go because i'm getting bored of swimming” he said it was up to Jacob. So I ran into the pool and swam to Jacob and asked him and he said yes, so we both got out of the giant pool and…

occasion right? Well my name was printed right smack in the middle of the newspaper. With big bold letters, “grandpa saves teenager and dog from lake” was stamped onto the front page. I was asked countless times how a varsity swimmer, with 9 years of swimming experience under his belt drowns with a dog, an animal that can literally swim. Before I tell you the self esteem killing story of how a 78 year old grandpa saved my life, you should have a small background information. When people say…

Boulder Boulder is the best thing I have gotten from a lake. We have so many funny stories about boulder. Boulder is a rock we found in the lake. Holly, Mia and I were swimming in Mia’s lake. I was playing hide and seek with them until all of a sudden I stepped on something very sharp.

I got tired it and dove underwater and tried to…

first and last swim practice. After serious consideration, I realized I had made a commitment to the team and to myself when I joined and I am not a quitter. So days turned into weeks which turned into months and I was still on the team. Slowly swimming grew on me. The team gave me a sense of accomplishment, a second family, and a sport that I would carry with me for the rest of my life. Without my exposure to the Wahoos, I would not have joined the high school swim team. So although it seems…
