Francis Mangere Pools

I was excited to hop in a bus to get to the Mangere Pools on my very last day of camp. When we got there I sat waiting eager to get in the water. First we had to watch the races. It was a really hot day and I wish we could swim before the races but we couldn’t.

At 11:30 a slide was opened, it looked really awesome. But when it was my turn I was freaked out by the way it went down. It felt like I was going to fly onto the concrete but somehow I was sticking to the slide, it wasn’t so fast after all. When I landed I flew into the water legs first.

For my second turn it was less scary I was waiting for Ms Garden to say “GO”. When she did I closed my eyes and opened them before I hit the water. After I hit the water I thought it wasn’t deep, but it was. Mr Somerville was next, He made a HUGE splash.

During my third turn Mr S was last, because Ms Garden told him to tell anyone else who wanted to go on it couldn’t because it was time to go. Waiting for my turn Mr Marks did a bomb in the bombing pool, when he hit the water some of it hit me. “ WHY MR MARKS!!” I yelled.

It was time to finish swimming. We all went onto the grass waiting for Ms Garden to say which teams to go first onto the bus. I wish we could stay for 2 more hours.
