PJ Star First Swimming Meet

On Saturday, July 21st, I went to a swimming meet at Peoria Central Pool, Paww.

On the car ride, I ate one bagel and some water.  After we got there my mom took a long time to park the car. I changed and didn't know where to go.

Then someone walked me to the coach and said that I had to go to the deep pool without lanes to do warm ups. After that, I got a tag for my bag. A coach told me to bring my bag outside not in my locker so I did.

I asked the coach with only relays because I didn't know what the coach knew about me: relays or events or anything because it was my first meet. I was only in free relay. I asked what was my first relay. It was event 8.

I laid my towel on the ground and rested there bored until it was my event. I took off my wet underwear I was wearing. I didn't notice because my Mom told me to take off my pants and put on my swim suit at 6:30 in the morning.

I went outside because a coach told me to. I waited until I had to sit on the bleachers and waited for my name to be called. Once it was I kind of knew that I was in lane 8.

After we went inside and dove, It was free style. I ended a 50y in 50 minutes. After that I asked the coach what was my next event. It was 12. I got Gatorade and water. I barely drank anything when my next event 12 was already there and was late when they called me that time. I was doing back stroke. I repeated the steps. My time was 1:05. I went to the coach and they told me that it was event 16. I knew it was counting by 4s. I went back to my towel. The next was short too but after I went to the bathroom, the coach told me to go outside. I was in lane 6 now and breath stroke. I dove and my goggles covered my eyes mostly and I didn't put my head back in for 1 25y. But the last few strokes I did and finished finally. My time was 1:06, 1 second slower than back stroke. I got to the coaches and they said my final event event was event 30, free relay. I could take a long break. I always focused on the only thing I could do, drink.

After I was almost done with my Gatorade, I poured water into my Gatorade and Gatorade into my water making it orange. Then I poured water into my Gatorade bottle, filling it. I kept doing that until I finished the water bottle. I poured almost all the Gatorade into the water bottle. The Gatorade bottle was bigger so that happened. I drank all the left over Gatorade. I poured the Gatorade into the Gatorade bottle. And soon figured out I made my own timer 7 seconds long. I kept and kept playing with it with another person and after we spilled, I got more water and played with it and eating crackers with two people and the relay begun. I made a flip turn and hit the lane line and slowly kept swimming until I got there. I finished the relay and changed into my clothes and left finally.

I changed my 92 mistakes after I finished.

Goofy chess tournament games

I learned three new goofy games!

Random chess:

Keep everything in place except the 1st and 8th rank: Black: 8th and white: 1st. Now play real chess in the set up position. You can set it up the normal way if you want to be boring.

Pawn Game:

Use the normal rules except you start with only all the pawns in their starting places and the king.

Rock, Paper, Scissors chess:

Play normal and all pieces where they start. But except you do rock, paper, scissors. Whoever wins goes first. Then keep doing rock, paper, scissors until you win or lose. If a person gets in check, they have to move without doing rock, paper, scissors. Then continue doing rock, paper scissors.

Swimming at YMCA again!

First I changed and went in to the pool. I walked to my dad and back while racing. I won by a lot cuz I got a head start cuz my dad thought I was slower cuz I usally lost.  I walked to the middle of the pool when I didn't even notice my dad was following me. I kept going back and forth until I went for 10 big dives then I was done. I walked back and forth again until it was 2:00. My brother was already taking a shower and we took a shower, dried, dressed and left.

The End
