Show don't tell- holidays

Welcome back to term three


I have made this recount on one of the things I did in the holidays. Read it then comment below where I was and I will tell you if your correct.


As I got out of the car, the smell of chlorine filled my nostrils. “ I love the smell of chlorine” I said to myself with a smile. I stood in front of the door and it magically slid open, it made me feel as if I had powers and could pull apart objects. I walked through the hallways and into the changing rooms.

After that I walked out and looked at all the water, I was one of the only ones there. I couldn't help myself I just had to dive in, the feel of the cold water rushing over my body as I swam deeper and deeper until I could touch the ground of the shallow end, then I pushed of the slippery surface and jumped out of the water like a dolphin.

I went into the little kids swimming area and saw my little sister and my mum splashing in the water having a great time. I took my sister into a little bit bigger swim area and I held my sister and swam around with her. A huge smile appeared on her face and she was giggling away. I put her back in the kiddy area with my mum and went off to the deeper end. It was three meters deep! I decided to test my self and swim all the to the bottom and let my cheek touch the ground and then swim back up. I did it.

I swam around for a couple of hours until finally it was time to go.
