Swim to Win!

By Erin Horner

I love to swim. It's one of my favorite things to do on a hot summer day. I'm excited to go swimming this summer, but I'm even more excited to watch swimming! I'm going to watch the swimming events in the Summer Olympics. When Olympic swimmers are trying to win a medal, they don't splash around in their best friend's pool like I do. They compete in an indoor pool. It is fifty meters long. Male swimmers and female swimmers compete in different events. Sometimes they swim by themselves. These are called individual events. During other events they work together as a team. These are known as relays. Four swimmers from each team take turns swimming during a relay. It's not easy to become an Olympic swimmer. These swimmers spend years perfecting their back, breast, butterfly, and freestyle strokes. I can only doggie paddle! Maybe with enough practice, I can learn to swim like an Olympian too. I'm going to do a lot of swimming this summer, but only when the Olympics are over. I want to make sure that I get to watch plenty of swimming too!
