I Stand in front of the dive board,
My hearts racing but I keep calm,
The whistle blows and up I go on the dive board,
"Bang!" the Gun goes off and I dive,all eyes fall on us,
I feel the cold water sting when I cut threw the water,
Holding back nothing I stroke forward,
breathing occasionally, I see the other swimmers,
They're caching up so I press harder,
I touch the wall then turn back,
Finally I make it back touching the wall,
"Click!" goes the timer with my score,
Pushing myself out of the water a cold wind hits me,
Grabbing my towel I hear the scores,
FIRST! place was me!,
I jump up and smile with glee,
My coach pats me on the back with praise,
Then I get ready for another race...
