Holidays

In the holidays I didn't do much apart from swimming. Right at the beginning of the holidays I had a three day swimming meet at Baywave. It was a really hard swimming meet because there were more than 200 people there and a lot of them were in my age group. In my age group there was about 50 girls. After all my races I would go and check what placing I was every time I was in the top 20. It was a really fun meet but there weren't many people from my swimming club and It was really hot and stuffy in there  so I always had to go out and get fresh air.

At the end of the holidays I had another swimming meet this time it was at Rotorua. This swimming meet was a lot easier because there wasn't as much people as the other swimming meet. This time there was 18 of us from my club, so when we were sitting on the bleachers it was really really squishy. In these races I didn't do as well and I didn't get any personal bests. My coach Paul was really happy with the turn but he wasn't so happy about my times. Apparently Rotorua pool is the hardest pool to swim in because it is a different type of water. The water is a lot thicker well that is what I have been told. Overall I still got in the top 5 for everything, next time I need to try a bit harder and get better results.

On the last day of the holidays I was still in Rotorua, I was staying in this flash hotel they have a swimming pool, gym, computers with wifi, bar and restaurant. On Sunday morning I got to wake up and go down stairs for a free bistro breakfast. After lunch my Dad, my brother and I got to go to Paradise Vally there were lots of animals like, lions, fish, horses, trout, alpakas and deer.
