Death Came Knocking on my door Death came knocking on my door one September afternoon. My best friend Ashley was throwing a under the sea themed birthday party. Every day in school Ashely, Kate, Brooke and I we would all talk about the party. “I can’t wait for your party. I think we should have face painting, games and Karaoke” I said. “How can you have a under the sea party without a pool” Ashely replied. “Yea that’s right” Brooke added. I kept quiet. I didn’t say anything. I didn’t want the girls

The two things that most attract me to Wellesley are the Chandler Pool and the Lulu Campus Center. Sportsmanship is one of my defining characteristics. Having been swimming for the past three years, the eight-lane professional Chandler Pool at Wellesley attracts me deeply. Swimming has both strengthened my perseverance and given me the spirit of collaboration and sportsmanship. I enjoy the feeling of racing in the water, pushing myself to the finish line. Swimming has given my body power, developed

I was four years old as I was being pushed in a stroller onto the Clovis West pool deck and I knew just about what I had come for. I had been begging my mom, ever since I saw my big sister swim, to let me swim like the big kids. I remember how confident I was standing behind that block, knowing almost as it was my destiny to be in this sport. I hear the starter tell us, " take your mark" and in that moment I knew, this is where I belong. Little did I know twelve years later I would be sitting here

GO! My coach’s booming voice rings in my ears as I dive off the starting block. This is my 3rd 100 meter sprint, but it feels like number 50. The water feels especially heavy. Even though I’m breathing way too often, my lungs are gasping for air. I silently beg myself to kick faster, but then suddenly I am stopped. The rhythm of swimming has been interrupted. Another swimmer is in front of me, going slower than I would like. The splashes from her kicks blind me, and the swirling water makes it even

Should Handball be an Olympic sport? Andrew Should Handball be an Olympic sport or even a sport in general? If you think about it, Handball is just a variation of many sports such as, Football, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, Softball, Water Polo, Gaelic Football.

I will never forget the time I got stung by a wasp. In July of 2008, it was one of the scorching summer time this year for me. This summer my sister and I suppose to go swimming at a beach. Instead, we went swimming at a relative's house who had a barbecue party. When we arrived at the house I already felt excited. Henceforth, when I was swimming in the pool. I felt a needle in my neck, but I had avoided it, though. Because I had thought it was a cramp in my neck. Eventually, I felt a sting again

At my very first swimming lesson it was scary being thrown into something that was so unfamiliar! But despite my fear, I swam across the entire pool all on my own and I was actually pretty good. I was encouraged by great Y staff to keep swimming, and shortly thereafter, I ended up joining the Y’s swim team. Being a Y kid growing up, I have experienced firsthand the type of impact the Dubuque Community YMCA/YWACA has on its young members. After graduating from college with a degree in Nonprofit Administration

stench of chlorine burned our noses as we entered the pool. The interior design of the sport complex was amazing although it seemed like a jail. The pool reminded me about the same pool during Frasers swim meet. The vast pool was filled with swimmers diving in and climbing out of the lanes. We had a bit of time to rest before the first event started so we made use of the time to practice. Luckily, the individual medleys were the first events to start off the 2015 High School Swimming Provincials swim
