Izzy and Ella
Impatiently, I tell my mum I want a bath. I turn the silver tap on running the water. I fall asleep into the bath. I'm in the big, open deep, beach. I try to put my goggles on. Finally they're on but I saw a tiger shark in the water. I say to myself "Swim for your life!"
My lungs were getting tired. I see a rock ahead. But the shark got me. Blood was everywhere. I was going to the bottom but I smacked the shark on the nose. I see the surface. I make a decision - Suffocate or jiggle.
I count while swimming-trying to see how many rocks there were... 5,6,7,8,9...
I woke up. Phew! It was just a dream.

Lewis and Myah
I wore my goggles under the deep water. I saw the rocks. My lungs were pumping. I came up to the surface. I was counting on my mum to pick me up. My nose was pouring with blood. Then I went and had a swim at the beach baths. Iwas going to jump in the beach bath but I didnt. I made a good decision. I jumped to the bottom of the beach bath. I was impatient to get my ice-cream.

Camryn and Ethan
I as swimming to the bottom of the surface in the deep, blue sea. My lungs were desperate to get air. The water went all the way through my swimming goggles. I swam all the way to the rocks. He ran all the way to the beach. I had a decision with my mum if we could get an ice-cream. She said yes. I was impatiently waiting. I was counting till I got one. I finally had a bath when blood came swarming out of my knee.

Sam and Taylor
I get my goggles on and swim into the deep water. When I smash into a rock blood bursts out of the bottom of my neck so do my lungs. I swim to the beach impatiently. I am counting to 100 very slowly. But it was just a dream. Then I notest that I was in the bath with my brother. He was on the surface of the bath. I made a decision that I needed to get out of the bath.

Charlie and Linkon
As we drove to the beach I started counting to 100. I got really impatient. When we got there I put on my goggles and ran out to the deep water. I cut myself on a rock. Blood came out. I started to sink to the bottom of of the water. I started to swim to the surface. My lungs filled with no air. Dad made a decision. He said we should go home and wash off the sand in the bath.

Oriwa and Georgia
One dripping wet day my family and I drove to the pool. As we splashed our way into the water for a swim I rushed to the deep. I put my goggles on. My hand started to pour out with blood. I rushed to the side of the pool and I got a rock in the bottom of my foot. As we drove home from a rough day I asked my mum if I could go have a bath when we got home.

Bayley and Jack
He tiptoed to the beach and got a blood nose and went on an All Blacks shoulder. He had a swim in the deep water. He pulled down his fat pants and everybody saw his bottom and his goggles fell off his face. He floated to the surface and went home and had a bath.

Desiree and Mikayla
As my lungs search for oxygen I choked on some salty water. 'Oh no! I'm in the middle of the ocean'. Floating into the deep, dark sea trying to swim to the surface but I'm getting exhausted. As I have to make a decision whether I keep struggling on I wait until I get washed back to the sparkling beach. My goggles are getting fogged up. As I breathe through my nose it starts to bleed. Blood goes everywhere. It feels like I'm drowning in my bath. As I'm getting impatient I start counting until I wash back to the shore. I'm floating down to the bottom of the sea. I see a rock and I saw a diver. He helped me back ashore.

Nicole and Ebon
The lungs of the shark are broken off the side of his throat. Gulp. As we go under the bottom of the water counting 1,2,3. Floating to the surface... Boom! Knocked out hit a rock. Going down. Goggles floating off my head. What's going to happen now?
