As my feet enter the water I can see bubbles all around me. I look up at the surface. Then I move my legs and arms slowly. I see the sky and I can feel an exciting sensation in my body. The sensation is pride.

My feet touch the water. Then my body strikes the water like an eagle. Next my whole body goes into the water and makes a big splashing sound! The water jumps up like a fish swimming away from a shark.

I splashed into the water and I slapped down to the ground and it hurt. I crashed onto my hand and it hurt and hurt. When I got up I was dripping and soaking like a water fountain. I felt really awesome and great. I didn’t care about my hand because the big splash was fun.

I am jumping forward through the air, about to hit the water. It feels like I am soaring through the sky like a bird. Everything is like a blur. The wind sounds like race cars speeding past me. And it was amazing.

I love it, when I dive into the water. It reminds me of a pancake splattered into a pan. It always feels like a slap. I can hear the splashing. Then I dive. Then I jump. You can hear the wave crashing on the shore and I can touch the rocks. It is amazing. I feel like a shooting star.
