Update

     Well i am very sorry that i have not blogged for a whole week! I looked at my blog today and realised that i havent blogged in ages, so i am very sorry. Now i must get you updated!
      Sunday night(last week): It was the first session back after a nice break, and i have to say it was quite hard! But it was good as many people were at the Regional Championships, so there was not many people, therefore resulting in a quiet lane. I struggled and was at the back, and a bit behind along with my friend Jess, who had also been away all week. I felt really uncoordinated, but it was nice to be back.
     Monday night: I was swimming a lot better than i did on Sunday and worked really hard. I enjoyed the set and pushed myself to keep up and do well, and that i think i did accomplish.
      Tuesday morning: Tuesday morning went quite well and it was quite quiet again, it was also my first morning back after my break so it was quiet hard getting back into it.
     Wednesday morning: Wednesday morning went really well and i really enjoyed the session. I worked hard and led the lane for some of the 8x100m breastroke set we did. I worked really hard and i didnt feel as uncoordinated as i had felt before.
      Thursday morning; Thursday morning i was quite tired, probably the reason i got the warm up wrong, whoops! But i woke up after a few lenghts in the pool and i really worked hard. I led the lane and worked really hard to stay leading the lane. I enjoyed the sets we did and practiced my technique on my fly, which has improved.
       I didn't go swimming Thursday night as my mum came in and found me asleep in my bed! She did try to wake me but after a few minutes she left me, so i had a night off.
       Friday night: I wasn't supposed to go swimming on Friday night, as my dad was back from a business trip, but as i didn't go on Thursday i had to go. I am quite glad I went as we had some new swimmers joined the club, one of them i knew as she lived in my village. They had moved swam at Halstead Swimming Club, but left the club and are hoping to join our club. A girl called Alex and her older sister are going to be joining the performance squad. Her sister swam with the Youth Performance squad, and Alex swam with the Age Group Performance squad(my squad). I started talking to Alex, who is my age, and it turns out that we are both doing the same event in the Distric Sports Athletic competition! We will both be doing the 600m, whether we will be in the same race i dont know. I worked hard, but i was at the back of the lane for the main set as it was24x100m pulling with a pullbuoy, which i am absolutely rubbish at! I work really hard and try my best but the others are a lot stronger than me so i am always behind, and i find it really tiring, but apart from that i did enjoy it.
       So i also received some good news this week, which i have already mentioned, and that is that i have been selected to represent my school in District Sports, in the 600m! I am over the moon, and i also have been asked(along with some others) to go to the Notley High School Sports Award evening! I think this means that i am going to win an award, most probably for netball, as the whole year 7 netball team have also been invited.
       Then today i went to watch my brother play in a football festival, where i met my best friends Evie and Kaitlyn, we had a great time and my brothers team won, with him scoring the goal in the final!
