Once I told her she went of on me about missing my relay and then we left. When I first started swimming competitively during the summer for old pike country club which was about four and a half years ago. it was my third meet and it was around 8:30 PM on a thursday night at old pike country club.

I missed another relay because the timers told us that we weren 't in their lane and we 're pretty sure that they were trying to sabotage us because they knew we were going to win, and they were parents that I didn 't recognise. But me and my relay got to swim with the 16-18 year old’s relay and we almost didn 't get last but we did even though we were 12 and 13 year old’s. I took from those relays that I should try not to miss an event or relay but if I do then I might have a small chance to go in a different heat, And I shouldn 't leave unless I know for sure that I don 't have anything left for that day. If i do leave then I should tell one of the coaches that I am leaving and ask them if I have another relay or event. I also learned that I should be ip at the blocks more than five minutes
