Water slide

The ceiling suddenly becomes lower, causing a sense of claustrophobia, because the gym is directly above this pool. There are only four people swimming: three girls playing basketball in the water and one man swimming laps. I greet the guard and tell him that I have the water which he responds, “It’s clear”. As the half hour goes by, many different people of all races, genders, and ages hop in the this pool, realize that it is much colder at only 80 degrees, and gasp as their heads come back up. Their laughing is a harsh contrast from my stoic outlook. Many older patrons then walk up to me, only to turn and go into the saunas behind my stand. This always makes me feel anxious that they are going to ask me questions, and I quickly change my body language to appear more approachable. To pass the time, I review the different ways that we are taught to perform CPR so as to overcome my boredom. In the last five minutes of this rotation, the older man swimming also hops out of the pool and makes his way over to me, towel in hand. “You look lonely now that everyone’s gone,” he…

INFLATABLE WATER SLIDE PARK When I was a child, I was crazy for playing in inflatable castle and water park yet those are too expensive and far from my house. In the recent years, there are a variety of inflatable water parks which are comfortable and affordable. Then children can enjoy the healthy outdoor games every week in the back yard, and their parents manage to throw the worries about high-priced tickets and the harmful chemicals in pools. 1. So what is an inflatable water slide park?…

Rider Tip The most important thing a rider can bring to the table is safety. Safety starts before you leave your house by first checking your equipment and making sure your trailer is hooked up properly.

Be aware of all hazards and try to understand the intension other watercraft o the water. Riders should be aware the water depth and only perform freestyle tricks when…

storm, after it calmed down we ate lunch at pizza hut. Then we just drove the rest of the way to my house after stopping at a gas station in Cambridge to use the bathroom all because of my sister and I got a pop and chips while we were there. Then when we got home we unloaded everything from the cars I had to carry most of the bags to our table in our kitchen. Jamestown, a town this is in the middle of nowhere it's like north branch in size anyway, but this town has more churches and other…

Do you know that feeling when you see something, or hear something so good that it couldn’t be true? Or hear of a story that at start you believe is fake, but then start to believe it after you witness something the same as the story? I knew that slides were fun, without water or not. And it was an opinion that I deeply believed in, that these things were fun. I believed them for so long until I went on vacation and saw the bad part about having fun. One day, when me, my mom, and my dad were…

The Waterslide Linde Kramer My heart was pounding as I raced down the snake-like waterslide. I plunged into the icy water. The line was getting shorter. If I hurried, I could go again and not have to wait very long! A little boy wildly shot out of the slide. He surfaced, gasping for breath. Wow, I didn't know that supposedly innocent waterslide could be so intense for young children! I looked up at the Florida sun. I felt like I was trapped inside an oven whenever I was out of the water. A slow…

It was the last day of school of my freshman year. I stood at the doorway of my world history classroom counting down the seconds as Kelcie and I repeated, “Summer, summer, summer.” The bell finally rang and everyone started running to the parking lot. Everybody was rushing to go eat lunch and hang out with their friends. I on the other hand included myself into my neighbor, Taylor’s plans. He asked me if I would like to help him build a slip n’ slide but he never would’ve thought I’d invite my…

I wasn’t happy with that suggestion since I really wanted to go on the blow up slide, but I had not wish to be rude, so I reluctantly replied with “ok.” As we went around the festival all I could think about the blow up slide, sure the other rides were fun, but I was convinced that the slide will be so much better. The closer and closer we got to the slide, the harder and harder it became to hold in my excitement, which caused me to start to bounce around. Matt just kept laughing at me making me…

not have the courage or strength to push through troubled times, and many people fall short. In the stories “Up the Slide” by Jack London and “Glow in the Dark” by Gary Paulsen, the main characters go through an ordeal, and manage to persevere. While Clay, the main character of “Up the Slide”, faces a physical hardship, the narrator of “Glow in the Dark” faces an emotional ordeal. The themes of the texts are similar in a way, but the mood of the story helps establish a clear, strong theme. Both…

The Kindergartner who was outside to play unsupervised got into a fight. I was meant to watch how he was doing, do a lap and ask how he was playing, while outside he was running around and said, “They are telling secretes about me and they are not telling”. After that he ran away to the playground with the swings, and slide. I walked behind him trying to understand what was going on, as he ran as soon as he told me that statement. While walking up the steps in the slide one of the supposed kids…
