Waitahuna Swimming Carnnival

Waitahuna Swimming Carnival on PhotoPeach

Clapping, cheering, this is what we did at the Waitahuna pool. At the start I got a sausage then we went to the playground. I climbed the tree with Shannon. I got really high up the line. You have to be 7 or older to climb the tree so we did.Then we walked the high tight-rope. I was not scared. Then it was time to go swimming. ‘Bummer,’ we had to go in last but we got to swim first. ‘Yay.’ We  got into the pool and first we did the ping pong ball race to the other side of the pool. Then we did underwater swimming. You had to pick up the stick and swim to the other side of the pool.Then we went to the shallow end of the pool and did a width streamline. Then we did kicking on our back with the board. Then we did a whole length of the pool, freestyle. Then we were done and we got out and stood on the step and everyone clapped and after that we got a hot chocolate. It was yummy. Then we watched the boys swim and everyone else. My favourite thing of the day was swimming lengths of the pool. - Caitlyn

People were yelling in the van on the way to Waitahuna. The Waitahuna swimming was awesome. I played on the playground. It was cool because the was a sand pit and a big, big pool. We had a sausage sizzle and a hot chocolate and my favourite thing of the day was the hot chocolate and playing on the playground. There were swimming races like back stroke and a whole length of freestyle. I did the whole length of freestyle. My favourite thing of the day was playing on the playground. - Seth


People were laughing, cheering and clapping on Thursday at the Waitahuna swimming carnival. There was an egg and spoon race in the pool. I went in the freestyle race across the pool one time. The stream line race was great for me because I came 5th in the race and we did a flutterboard race. We had sausages at lunch and we played in the playground. I played on the bungy rope but I was too scared to go to the end because it got high and I could fall down and hit the ground and break my arm. I heard some boy had broken his arm one day and I knew that because it wobbled and shook. My great thing about the day was the swimming. - Floyd.

Last week we went to the Waitahuna pool for the swimming carnival. The pool was 25 degrees. It is warmer than the Lawrence pool. We were second to hop in the pool First we did the egg and spoon race. I dropped my egg 3 times. I swam a whole length of free style. Freestyle was my best. I had to stop 2 times. The people were clapping and cheering. I had a milo and it was good. It had handles on it. At lunch time we played in the sand pit. I had the dozer. Logan had the loader. Lochie and I had the dozers. The sand pit is clean. It has a fence around it. - Kade

Clapping, kicking splashing, and yelling it is our turn now. When we went  to Waitahuna we got  a sausage sizzle. It was good. We went to play in the playground and we went on  the monkey bars and on the rope. Then we went swimming.  We did the egg and spoon race. We did backstroke and I did a length, which was my best. The one I liked was backstroke. We go a milo and then we got to play in the playground again. - Luca

Yippee. We went on Thursday to the  Waitahuna swimming sports. At lunch I had a sausage sizzle. Before the swimming races I played in the playground. At the swimming races my favourite swimming race was the stream-line. After, I had a milo. - Lochie


Splashes, cheering, kicking, going underwater, racing, streamline gliding on my back. I had a great hot milo. We did a length of pool. It was fun. I saw Kade and Lochie. Mum came and watched me. I saw Cody. He was kicking the ball at the end. I saw two puppies. - Logan

Bashing through me! I saw people everywhere. I was nervous. This is all a part of the Waitahuna swimming carnival last Thursday. We went before lunch and we went in the school van with Mrs Crawford. We had a sausage with bread and sauce. There was a little park that we played in. At the school pool there was an egg and spoon race. We had to pick objects up from the bottom of the pool. I did a whole length of back stroke. It was a lot of fun. I had a milo. My milo was my favourite thing. - Amethyst

"3, 2. 1....GO!" said Mrs Blackmore for the races. My very favourite event was the egg and spoon race. I dropped my egg 2 times. It was frustrating. - Madison

Splashing, diving, kicking, splashing - the Waitahuna swimming sports is on. I zoomed to the side and back in the egg and spoon race. I came second. In the underwater race I came first. - Amelia
