As I nervously stepped onto the edge of the pool, I got a quick glance of all the people sitting on the hill, cheering for their schools. Uneasily, I got into my diving position. Shivering, I waited for the whistle. WHEEET! As everyone stopped talking, I could feel a dozen eyes fall on me. I shifted uneasily, waiting for the start.
"On your marks," said the judge. CLAP! I jumped into the the freezing, cold pool as if there was a rocket strapped to my back. As soon as I hit the surface, I powerfully swam my way through the water. I heard lots of people cheering. I moved through the icy, cold water like a tornado through land. I finally got to the end.
I was surprised when I came 3rd. I had expected myself to come last. I wheezed and gasped until I got my breath back. It was shame I didn't get into the finals. But again, I felt very proud of my achievement.

Julian, keep up the good work!
