A.W.P


I went to Edmonton for a competition last week.
The pool had 4 3m and 6 1m springboards,6 trampolines and 7 dryboards, which is amazing!
However, i didnt like it becasue the boards rolled...!
Despite of that it is my coach's home pool, I said to him "the boards suck! i dont like any boards here"
He gave a bitter smile...
Oops! haha
I ll write about the accident during the competition.
I happened just before my event, which was 1m wemen open.
I was taking shower after I had finished restricted practice.
Suddenly, the sound of fire alarm went off noisily.
I looked at each other with other divers, who were also taking shower next to me.
we were like "what s going on?" "I dont know." becasue we didn't know it s the sound of the fire alarm.
When I went back to the pool deck, life guards were instructing people to gether at one place.
We gethered and just waited, waited and waited...as the alarm were still going off.
about 20mins later , the alarm stoped and we could start competition again.
I heard that there was a small fire in the boiler house.
I think about the time now.
We didn't take it seriously but we were not a little in a denger for a while.
Most of us didnt wear nothing but bathing suits so we would probably be frozon to death if we had to shelter to outside!
Isn't it strange if I freezed to death becasue of fire?haha
well, it not funny but sounds funny..
anyway, that s what happened in the first day of the competition.
the next competition will be the same place, Edmonton in the middle of May.
Im not excited becasue i dont like the boards there!!

I am glad you are safe.Take care yourself. But after that sounds interesting, you guys just wear a little bit. How would you do if that is true. It must be very cold
