Yesterday my mom took me and my sisters to the YMCA pool. They have some water slides that looked fun to me, but I had to pass a swim test to go on the slides and to go in the pool without an adult. If I passed, I got a green wristband so that the lifeguard on duty at the slides knew that I could go on them. To get the wristband, I had to swim a length in freestyle and tread water for 1 minute. My mom told me to ask a lifeguard if I could take a test. Since my family is new to our YMCA, we were surprised to learn that they ran the test at specific times. The next time was 2:00 pm. It was about 1:33 then. My mom bought us ice cream bars. Soon it was 2:00. About 10 other kids were waiting to take the test. Finally, the lifeguard came over to watch us. I passed the test. I got my wristband,then went down the slides again and again until it was time to go. Also, I saw my friend Dina, who goes to camp there, in the afternoon. I really like our Y pool.
