Swimming Pool Description

Today I am going to write about the swimming pool at St Pius X School courts.


It is as warm as a spa, the water is as blue as the sky, the pool a as deep as a pond and the pools waves are a bit like the sea.


Our swimming pool is in a marquee, when you get out of the swimming pool it smells. It is 15 meters long, and 1 meter deep sometimes the swimming pool can be cold.


The maximum of people in the swimming pool is 16. The pool is from the Mt Wellington Trust because they want us to learn to swim.

It’s fun in the swimming pool because you can do lots of swimming and have free time too.
