MY COMMONWEATH GAMES SWIMMING STORY!
As they gained on me I swam harder and harder. Here I was at the Commonwealth Games swimming in the 400m freestyle, my dream since I was 8. Ten years later I finally achieved my goal as the youngest in the event at only 18 years old against world champs. Here was the last 50 meters and I swam my hardest I ever had in my life. My legs kicked so hard that they felt like they were going to turn into jelly, only another 10 meters and I was sure to get a medal. 1, 2, 3, As I touched the edge of the pool I could hear cheering pounding around my head, I had won a gold medal!
