Exceptional Pride in son's hard work and accomplishment. . My Swimmer by HarryT sports contest entry

I am so proud Whenever you take the block Concentrating intently On beating the clock A whistle sounds sharply You climb to your perch Stand at attention Careful not to lurch. "Swimmers take your mark!" The starter does bark Legs tensing tightly, hammer at cock Arms in rotation, hands grab and lock. A shot rings loudly deafening our ears Parents up quickly yelling our cheers Off you go flying, a gull on the wing Churning the water, a stroke that does sing Reaching the wall with a powerful kick Spinning and flipping, looking so slick. Off the wall flying, splitting the foam Strength keeps pouring from regions unknown Straining and paining at last to the flags Strokes keep churning, never a lag Hitting the pad with a powerful thrust Leaving the competition in watery dust Author Notes My pride stems from the hard work my son put in to make himself into a first class competitive swimmer.
