What I Love
What I love
By: Joshua Lujan
I love the pool
It has that smell that attracts me
It has a lot of people going up and down the pool doing the same stroke
I like how it is loud because of all the coaches
I enjoy seeing other swimmers
I can’t imagine not being at the pool
Whenever I leave the block i feel free
Whenever I finish my stroke I feel like it is something I could do as a career
Whenever I swim I feel like it’s is my last time doing it.
