All eight Owa students attended the swimming carnival on February 3rd. The carnival was outside. It was very hot, but some Owa students decided to support the swimmers rather than swim.
I swam freestyle (50m), breaststroke (50m), and butterfly (50m). I came 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
There aren’t many 50-meter pools in Japan so it was a fun experience to swim in such a big pool for the first time.
Japanese and Australian sports festivals are different. The MWSC swimming festival was like a party! All the Year 12 students wore costumes.
I drank a blue sports drink. It looked strange. I thought it was blue hawaii flavour, but it was raspberry.
We took pictures and ate lunch with MWSC students and I was able to make some new friends.
