Swimming with Ducks

Although yesterday was Marine Day, I didn’t go swimming at the beach. I did go swimming last Wednesday in a pool, however. A friend of mine invited me to go swimming at his university’s outdoor pool. The swimming team wasn’t using it that day, so we had it to ourselves, or so we thought. When we got there, a couple of ducks flew down and landed in the water. They started swimming down the lanes. Then they got out and rested at the end of the pool. I took out my smartphone to take a picture, but when I got closer, they jumped in the water and swam away. When we got into the pool, they flew away. This was the first time I ever shared a pool with ducks!    (130 words)
