    Jumping into a pool

    373 The first time I did a belly flop, I didn’t expect it to hurt so much. Because I didn’t gauge how tall the springboard was. I also didn’t look at how deep the pool was. The belly flop hurt. Then I fell deep into the water. I don’t swim. When I was a little… Continue reading
