The whole camp was really excited about going to the Mangere Pools on our final day of camp. So was I, until I found out that the chlorine in the water made my skin come up with all spots that really hurt. I had to get out after a while but the time I had in the pools was a blast!
“Come on the slide Ana!” called one of my friends, as excited kids started to line up as soon as it opened. I was a little scared especially as I got closer to the top, my stomach was doing flips. I nearly felt like backing out. A foam mat was shoved in my hands so I had to get on to the slide but it was so much fun!
When I first got onto the slide, it was really slippery at the entrance but once on, it was alright. I pushed off nervously. At first it was slow but as the bottom of the slide was closer, it started to speed up, and I plummeted legs first into the little pool at the end of the slide, SPLASH!
As I got out of the water to get ready for another jump, my face started burning and my back was itchy, I knew what that meant, I had spots from the chlorine! I had to get out of the pool and wait until it was lunchtime but even though I wasn’t in the pool, I was still itching from the spots on my back.
After a small shower, I got back into my clothes. Once dressed, my spots started to fade but I still wished that my allergies didn’t even exist so that I could go back into the water and enjoy the day with my friends.
Even though I wasn’t in the water slashing and going down the slide , I still had a good day watching everyone have fun! Finally, Miss Garden started to get everyone out of the pool to get ready to go onto the bus again. It was cool watching everyone slowing come back into their lines from the changing rooms.

On the bus, everyone was really tired and some people even fell asleep. The trip seemed shorter than the way there but most people still enjoyed it. What a great way to end camp!
