On the 4th February, grades3-6 attended the Kiama Leisure Centre for our school swimming carnival. It was a heated indoor 25 metre pool, which meant it didn't matter what the weather was like outside.  Two buses were used to transport both teachers and students to & from the swimming carnival. Travel time was about 30 minutes each way. Everyone got to sit next to who they wanted to, Blake and I sat together. On arrival at the pool we were put into our house groups, then Mr Goodwin announced anyone who needed to get changed to please do so. If anyone wanted a warm up swim they were also allowed. After our warm up swim Mr Goodwin called up the first race, the open 100metre freestyle swim. After that all the age races began. The first race I competed in was the 50metre freestyle which I came first. I then competed in both the 50metre breaststroke & backstroke which I came second in each race. Mr Goodwin called on all the house groups one at a time to buy what they wanted from the canteen, and then we had lunch. The children who did not compete or went in only one race were also allowed to have a free swim. After this we continued the afternoon races, butterfly and the relay. Everone was then allowed another free swim before changing to go back to school. We were also to buy something from the canteen before leaving the pool. The bus took a little while so we had to wait. Before we knew it, we were on the way back to school. I had an very enjoyable day. It was great! Star Reporter - Belinda Digital Photography - Ryley
