I am a competitive swimmer who swims all-year-round. I recently qualified for a huge meet in New York called the Eastern Zones Age Group Championship. Swimmers from Maine, Vermont, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and more are all coming to the meet. I qualified for two events, 50 meters breaststroke and 100 meters breaststroke. My parents decided to bring me to attend the meet. We chose to drive to New York, which takes around 6 hours. We will leave the house before 8:00 next Tuesday so that we will arrive on time for a “warm up.” The warm up is 1 ½ hours long, but there is a picnic-like dinner after it that I really want to attend. We have also decided to take a small trip to Niagara Falls before coming back home.
A few of my friends have also qualified for the meet and are coming along. This is nice as I have someone to talk to during the meet. Ithaca College is where the competition swimming pool is located. This venue is also very close to Cornell University. My mother is giving me a cell phone to call her when I need to talk to her during the meet. People are required to put on a face mask when entering the venue. You must also pay a small fee to swim each of the events you qualified for. On the other side, we are staying at a hotel!
Hotels are one of my favorite parts of a trip. You can have different foods, different styles, and it would make the house that you live in look boring. I personally appreciate the amenities good-quality hotels have as it makes your trip much more enjoyable, even if the purpose of the trip is a nightmare to deal with. Like I said earlier, we are taking a trip to Niagara Falls after the meet! One of my friends is going there as well. Since I have never been to Niagara Falls, I am so excited as it could be a breathtaking experience. The giant amounts of water could be enjoyable or intimidating.
