A Time I Felt Invincible
A time I felt invincible was when I was at swim practice, I was staying late after practice, waiting for my dad to pick me up. While I was waiting, I heard my swim coach shout from across the pool, "Hey Audrey! Come over here and bring your towel!" So I grabbed my towel and quickly walked to the other side of the pool. my swim coach pulled me aside and asked me, "Do you remember the flip turn drill we did last week?" I nodded my head. "Well," he said. "These kids just don't understand it, could you please hop in the pool and demonstrate how to do it?" I took off my sweat shirt and sweat pants and hopped into the pool. I swam a few strokes then stopped and did a flip turn. I did this a couple of times, then turned around and swam back. As I swam I looked at the younger kid's faces and saw them watch me with admiration. "Thanks." My coach said as I climbed out of the pool. "You really helped them understand how to do it." I happily skipped back to where my kick board, sweat pants and sweat shirt were. When I looked back over my shoulder, I could see all the younger kids swimming the flip turn drill I had just showed them moments ago. I beamed as I dried off and put back on my sweat shirt and sweat pants and went back to waiting for my dad to pick me up, smiling the whole time.
