Swimming Sports

On the 18th of February at my school we had the school swimming sports. At the sports each student has been put into a house. And I've been asked so many times like in harry potter?!?! yes in a way, we get put into a house and the four are green,yellow,blue and red. We don't have names like in harry potter, some schools do, or anything else, but we have colours. During the swimming sports, we go down to the kyabram pool, and everyone is dressed up pretty crazy in they're house's coulors. All my friends and i painted ourselves in our colours and 5 showers later i stil have green on me. It was completley worth it though. During the day they have different races going on. I participated in the 50metre breast stroke and the boat races. I came 1st in the breast stroke, and in the baot races you work as a team of 8. You have 4 guys and 4 girls on a team. One person's in the boat, and the other's behind it and pushing it. Each pair paddles 25 metres. As a team we technically came 4th, however since one of the other teams were disqualified we ended up coming 3rd. Which worked well since the 3rd ribbon is green, and we were the green team! This day was a lot of fun! and quite warm! Wish we did this back in NY!
