A moment in time-Swimming Sports N.H

Taking my time I climb up the wooden steps imagining and feeling of Sir Edmund Hillary's courage. I turn over to my opponents. They look all confident and tough like army of soldiers. Nothing's gonna stop them from winning. I look straight forward like a wolf. I see students from Hillary house cheering loud for me, as if I was their simple last hope. Mr K had blown his whistle. I hopped into the cold water."One, two,three CLAP!" There I go Watching the others one by one over the tied skipping rope that separated us . Their hands going over and over.For a second I didn't know what to do next , seconds went by time went on."Touch." I had finally finished. Clearing my goggles from the fighting water Mrs Ingalls handed me a bright, yellow rod.I was as  happy as a hungry mouse finding yummy cheese, I had come .........second.
