Summer Swim

As I enter the cool water the icy chill shoots down my spine. My mother paddles next to me in a gleaming red kayak. I embarked on my journey my mother paddling by my side pretty much so I don't die. I start off strong with the always reliable breast stroke, but quickly tire and have to revert to the side stroke. I continue my swim, my destination coming closer and closer in front of me I continue to tire periodically taking breaks. After I final push I reach my destination the other side of the lake and look back across embracing my accomplishment. As I get into the kayak to be paddled   back to the opposite side I finally relax and look forward to my swim next 4th of July.
